 Hey, everyone, how's it going? Hope you guys are having a good day I'm gonna show everyone here. We got some news to talk about there's some breaking news about the Mario movie It has been delayed Which I'm gonna say is not really surprising considering that didn't they announced the release date over a year before Like ahead of time that that seemed a little ambitious to be like yeah We're gonna announce the release date for a movie. That's not done a year from now It always felt a little weird So yeah, by the way most movies don't announce release dates before they even show a trailer So we get this is what we haven't even seen yet. So I yeah, it got it got delayed to spring I will talk about that in a bit. That was news that broke right as we were going live but first I have to talk about some as we know my mind today If you've been checking out my Twitter account over the last hour You might know two things have been happening one. I was watching the Nets in Celtics game, which does look like the Celtics aren't going to win, but we'll see, you know, there's like six minutes left So there's that yeah, you guys know my big NBA fan and you know, whoever wins that series likely my bucks will play next but Also the more important thing I talked about Is a really tragic thing that happened Right in my backyard basically not literally the backyard of my house, but right here in my hometown There's no easy way to talk about it But I want to I want to use this as an opportunity to Maybe let some emotions out and a Little PSA because it because it because this hit really close to home. It's it's been weighing on my mind all day Especially once the news broke the worst possible outcome so last night a 10-year-old girl Went missing on her way home She was at her aunt's house or something like that and was bike riding home late in the evening slash early night It might have still been light out. I'm not exactly sure She never made home Obviously her dad called the police missing person's report They found her bike in the middle of the woods on a trail between her aunt's house and downtown Chippewa Falls That's why that's where I live Wasn't a very long trail Really not that long of a trail. I've been on the trail myself They found her bike there and this morning they Found her dead the early reports from the police is that she was murdered But this wasn't like an accident where she fell off the trail and You know knocked herself out and drowned or something bad because the trail does Go across a small little a small little crick But then somebody obviously took her off her bike And then Did whatever and killed her she was just 10 years old Obviously thoughts prayers whatever that's worth to the family That's going through this and it's a little tough because one I have a 10-year-old daughter Not that my 10-year-old daughter would ever be on a bike trail riding home at 6 7 8 o'clock at night. Anyways, I Wouldn't allow that to happen even without this because I Don't think a 10-year-old should be out on their own in any circumstance Even if it's just riding bike between family houses the houses were a mile apart. That's not that far doesn't matter I personally wouldn't let my children do this and that's before this happened So I'm not blaming the parent. I'm not blaming the family who let her bike home But it is one of those situations where Kind of a PSA to parents. I don't care how safe you think your town is how safe you think your neighborhood is Don't be letting kids Out on their own Don't be letting them bike to the local grocery store or bike to a friend's house or you know bike from, you know One family members house to another family's members house or go on some long walk by themselves There's there's an age when maybe you can consider letting them do that right like, you know 15 16 17 fine At those ages though, they're also thinking about driving which is infinitely safer from obviously kidnapping than riding a bike Especially at night But I don't want to pile on the family because they're going through out. They're going through a hard time But it's even closer because I know the girl for those who don't know four years ago, I Was part of an after-school program with the YMCA This program was you could call it a glorified daycare if you want It was a little bit more involved than that. We would be at the school Taking care of kids until about eight o'clock at night And you know, there'd be like 30 kids or whatever at all the various schools in the district And you know, we'd help them with their homework We would cover any lessons that the teacher went through that the student may be struggled with we'd kind of reteach Them the lessons so there was some teaching involved. I'm an obviously various activities playtime and I Haven't seen her in a while. I mean because it's not my kid But she was part of that program So I was one of the people responsible for her at one point in her life So when I saw who it was and I saw a picture of her, I just No, I said this on on Twitter I'm gonna I'm gonna say this again Things like this make a lot of the things that we Complain about seems so small. Yeah, obviously video games and complaining about this tonight. We're gonna be talking about some Former staff members and Nintendo of America complaining about the way Nintendo treated their staff And the complaints seeming pretty real at this point with over 13 14 people complaining Doesn't make Nintendo, right? But it's it's small in comparison to a Child being murdered, you know, a lot of people get passionate about politics Arguments over racism me too movements black lives matters Sexism a lot of bad things, right all these arguments and and politically fueled debates that we have All of that pales in comparison To a child Getting murdered. There's a lot of sickos out there a lot of people that need mental help a lot of people that Shouldn't exist in this society and if every person Who would harm a child would just no longer exist I Could be happy the rest of my life Forget what happens in the political realm forget what happens if the war is out there forget what happens With a lot of other things but a little girl Was trying to get home to her dad and she didn't make it less than three miles from my house. I Apologize for being a little emotional the moment, you know when it happens at your backyard It's not like you're not aware that this stuff happens, right? You Google child kidnapped beans amber alerts You know children getting murdered It's not like it's uncommon unfortunately It happens at least in the United States. It happens all over the country. So this isn't This isn't like it's you know any more prevalent now than it was before this happened But you know, it's always different when it hits close to home and You're a parent yourself with someone the exact same age who once played with this girl And my daughter might not remember her but that's okay. I'm actually glad she doesn't remember her because of puppy hard on her too, but You know when she was six she was playing with this girl at my work and the thing is I don't want it It's not my loss. It's the family's loss and and more important than the family It's her loss. It's the child's loss because that child she's the one that Isn't going to get to live a full life And experience some of the best parts of it You know first time driving a car, you know first time hanging out with friends without you know family being around having sleepovers giving the graduate high school and Trying to figure out what's next in your life. And so to Lily and her family I Feel for you to all of the parents out there Learn something from this and What you should learn is It doesn't matter where you live. I live in a small town Less than 14,000 people and there's even smaller towns around me Doesn't matter where you live doesn't matter how safe you think it is Doesn't matter that my hometown was rated by Time Magazine as the number one place in the whole of the United States to raise your children It doesn't matter where you live you Cannot Trust anyone Your kid might want to go off on their own your kid might think I can bike ride to grandma's it's okay Grandma might just be half mile mile down the road. It's okay I can do it. You don't need to come with dad. You don't need to come with mom. I can go on my own No, you can't and it's not because I don't trust the kid It's because I don't trust anybody else I Don't trust the drivers. I don't trust the teens. I don't trust anybody It's why my children have never been anywhere Where a trusted adult was not present they haven't gone on bike rides without a trusted adult Haven't gone on walks without a trusted adult. They haven't gone to friend's houses without trusted adults And it's gonna stay that way for a long time. You know people sometimes go Nate. Why don't you let your kids have cell phones? Right, they can get a hold of you. You could find your children This girl had a cell phone What did I do for Lily? It's important That we protect our youth until they are old enough to protect themselves And that's all that's really all I can say about it. I don't want to I Don't want to spend too long on this topic because just It's incredibly sad. There's nothing to be done at this point. The police do have some leads two suspects that Might have done it might not together I have no idea what the evidence is at this point because obviously they don't they don't publish that stuff until people are in Custody and they're bringing charges. So so we're not gonna know too many more details until probably next week sometime, but Gotta protect kids and obviously protect yourselves I know there's more dangerous places on the world where you know, like I think Lily young in the chat mentioning Hey, I'm 18 and I can't even go walking because I'm a girl and that's sad that you know, you live You know a life where you need to be afraid of that I Would say it might it might be worth investing in taser at that point but You know, you you you have to you know, worry about yourself and worry about your future But any time a We lose a young one Of Non-natural cause I mean it's sad enough when you when you lose a kid to cancer other diseases Maybe even cove it for crying out loud. It's sad enough when you lose a kid to anything But when that child is taken from you Not by an act of God not by natural causes not by you know, even even a freak accident Where the child chased a ball into the road and get hit by a car like that sucks, too But when someone goes out of their way to end a child's life, it just makes All this other crap that we're always complaining about all this other crap that we're always Debating about all this other crap That we think is so damn important. You just seem like it's so small You know, it's the most important that we protect the kids that the people that Might get these sick thoughts crossing their minds To murder a child that we get them help before something actually happens That they get the mental help they need before it gets to the point That they're making choices. They can't take back That means that You have a couple Nintendo topics topic today I guess we'll get to the breaking news first Me edit my little thing here because it's definitely not thirsty Thursday But first I thought about the breaking news As you see Nintendo of America It's funny because this is Miyamoto Don't know why it has to be Miyamoto. It could just be a general announcement But whatever after consulting with Chris San my partner at Illumination on the Super Mario Bros film We decided to move the global release this spring 2023 April 28th in Japan on April 7th in North America My deepest apology apologies. I promise it will be well worth the wait um So my thoughts on this are Why do you give us a release date like a year early Nintendo? I'm not bothered by the delay We haven't even seen a damn trailer, right? We haven't even seen a damn trailer The release date always felt optimistic and even now like you're delaying it Why give us an exact date again because if it gets delayed again, oh now it won't be April 28th It's not gonna be May or June. Yeah, like Why why even give us a release date? You made the mistake the first time don't make it again Just say the movies delayed till spring and leave it at that right like most movies Don't give you release dates until we see a trailer right the trailer Reveals the release date because the trailer means the movie is coming close to being done Without a trailer it makes it feel like the movie still has a lot of work to do So to me this move just feels like hey We should have never renounced that release date in the first place So are we going to see a movie this year? Are we even gonna see a movie this year? I have no idea So that that's that's that's one of the stories today And that broke obviously we'll be talking a little bit about Issues going on at Nintendo as well Um Sloup is confirmed by nerd now. How do we have a confirmation? I know Modern vintage gamer did his video and he concluded that he thinks it's highly likely That Sloup is indeed a nerd thing and that this leak is real That was his conclusion, but it was far from definitive. So do we have definitive confirmation? That's the biggest thing we can keep saying oh everything points. That's fine, but is there anything? Definitive because everything can be fake regardless of what experts say Everything can be fake That's just that's just something to consider So if there's some definitive proof out there that that's pretty cool What are you guys the thoughts in the Mario Mario movie being delayed? I'm just curious What what what your guys's thoughts on this are is? Sloup is I believe a Game Boy Advance emulator that was part of the Game Boy Advance Game Boy Color, etc. Leak for Nintendo Switch Online Now the files in that dated back to 2019 So a bit of an older file that you guys suppose Yeah, and the Celtics beat the Nets And Even in Kevin Durant's best game he could not shoot 50% Anyway, sorry, I found it funny All right Don't care. I need to see a trailer for you. I mean the movie thing we can't judge the movie itself Right like the Mario movie hasn't come out. You haven't seen a trailer. So there's nothing to really judge with the movie But I'm just curious what people feel about even though my notes in it when they did now delaying it I've seen a few reactions or some people make a joke of it. Some people are like concerned Maybe they got internal feedback on the money movie and it was not good similar to Sonic movie I'd rather they take their time and do it right. I mean, I have no idea and you know me a moto there says he was consulting with With his partner at illumination on it, but I mean Again, we hadn't we hadn't even seen it Have you even seen a trailer? So it's a little weird little weird doesn't see that sort of delay Number four move on into what we're talking about the next the first half of the Nintendo facing trouble times Tell you guys a little update to our shot chart today because I'm gonna be drinking a beer Literally my drink tonight is a beer. Cheers So normally you guys know I'm doing beer shots. So you might be wondering what the hell is going on? Well, it's pretty simple. What's happened in here? We are adjusting the shot Chart a smidge just a smidge. So For $1 super chats, we're gonna be just we're gonna be doing rum chata Till the till the bottle's gone, right? There's like this much less than that much What's replacing our $5 shots tonight is something that I don't know that I want to try it I heard it's absolutely disgusting, but it's not a booze that we're replacing for $5 It's mountain dew Laming hot Yeah, this is a full 280 calorie version, it's insane caution flaming hot I heard it's just disgusting and it just sits in your throat. I have no idea I have never tried this. So this is going to be our shot for $5 tonight I guess we'll do shots of this till it was done left. I am not looking forward to it I think it's gonna be the one of the grossest things I have ever tasted in my life But I have tasted every mountain dew flavor that's ever come out and this is the latest and I think it's gonna be disgusting Mountain Dew Flaming hot. I don't I don't know. That's our $5 shot tonight Then we still have our $10 dr. Cherry our $20 UV and then We still have our art to kill We're gonna knock this this one down to 50 bucks tonight as well Just because I'm still dealing with knee pain god I didn't even talk about that but yeah, my some people wanted to update on my knee pain They were asking me on Twitter. My knee is still killing me There's a project I had to do over the weekend before my knee was better. So it got re-enflamed So I'm just I'm just delaying badly. How long it's gonna take my knee to recover I'm just dumb. So yeah, my knee is still killing me and it's still a struggle to move around but I Did it to myself this weekend because I had a project that I had to get done So What are you gonna do? All right, I'll believe GBA When Nintendo says it's out Let's see here. I have a few reliable sources telling me there is a tactics ogre remaster reveal trailer ready to go possibly debuting late Spring early summer. I mean it's flaming hot soda. What's the like? I don't know. It's gonna be if we get a five dollar super chat tonight. This is gonna be pretty gross I just have a few and it's like in between. It's like not quite room temperature It's a little cooler than room temperature, but not like refrigerator cold. So it's gonna be You know, maybe it's one of those it's not so bad at cold But it's really disgusting that warm and I have it in in between state Which we just probably gonna be warm by the time we do one tonight.

Nothing you can do about it. All right, let's uh Let's crack open that Mountain Dew flaming hot I've given all the fresh bottle I am what does that smell so right off the bat it kind of smells like It kind of looks like it do so it kind of smells like live wire You guys know what mountain do live wire tastes like that's what this smells like this this this mountain do flaming hot This is our five dollar shot tonight You see it has that orange color to it So it definitely like I wonder if live wire is the base of it or maybe it's a no and it smells like live wire I don't know. I'm getting my beer ready because That beer is gonna taste way better than this I have a feeling who knows watch me do this shot and I like it watch it be Watch it be Absolutely delicious, and I'm like man. I thought I was doing this as a punishment shot tonight, and I like it So we're gonna do a shot of Mountain Dew flaming hot Without further ado, I'll let it sit for a moment to maybe not some choking. All right, here we go Here's our Mountain Dew flaming hot five dollar shot tonight. Okay, so oh Live wire is the base So that's the good news Live wire is the base Um So it's weird so like oh, man, so It doesn't taste bad going down the live wire flavor Kind of overpowers the taste buds on the way down so it kind of just tastes like Live wire, but somebody spiked it and you can't quite figure it out But then after it goes down When it coats your throat on the way down and it sits there for a few seconds Suddenly whatever spice or pepper or whatever they put in it. Well, I mean does it say? Says what do we got? Let's see here It does not say what it is. It's funny. It just has like all the normal stuff that's in pop What does not say what the flavor is anyways whatever the pepper is or The spice it just sits there and then it starts to like Eat at your throat like if you've ever had like a really spicy pepper before and Yeah, it can be hot in the roof of your mouth, but you get that feeling in the back of your throat I'm trying to describe this to you guys like I don't know how many of you guys have actually had You know spicy peppers before you know like a habanero or something or or you know worse than that I mean habanero is not that bad But for some of you guys it would be really bad so it kind of so it kind of Sits on my throat and it's like tingling and eating at it and it just tastes gross So it's like it tastes like live wire going down and then it just sits there and gets worse and worse and Worse and worse. Yeah, it's like an aftertaste of spiciness, but one that like clings to your throat. It's just like It's I Would not say it's enjoyable I will say it's not the worst thing I've ever drank in my life But I would never choose to drink this on purpose So I am glad that I made that the five dollar shot tonight because that is disgusting on The aftertaste I I do not that is not enjoyable That is not enjoyable The fact that I went to the beer shortly after should all you all you need to know and I'm trying to Get it off my throat Man I'm trying to get that off my throat All right It's the don't buy this soda flavor, which of course makes people buy it because they're curious, right? It's still there like five minutes later. Yeah, I won't I wouldn't be I Won't be surprised if I'm still tasting this five minutes later Dude, I've drank every flavor amount do it's ever existed so But yeah, it doesn't said it definitely uses live wire for the base, which I think I think tricks you it tricks you Because you're drinking it And you're like, oh man Like if I was just drinking this normally and I was like, oh man, you drink You know, I'd probably take a bigger swig than that I would probably swig down to here take a few gulps and it like it's like oh, man I'm just I'm just chugging some live wire. Then you set it down and there's instant regret And that's how they get you that's how they get you with the flame and hot. It's not that it's so hot You can't drink it but they get you by teasing you with a good tasting soda and That fucking you once you stop drinking anyways So there you have it It's cap station and chili powder see it and I like chili powder can't get peace and it's okay I do like chili powder, but whatever whatever it is the combination of it with the acidiveness It just sits there in the throat. It's just it's like clings in a way that I'm not really used to It could have been pang See that that would that one bother that one bothered me though. I like that stuff. All right Should I chugged it all down? No, thanks. Well, we'll keep it a five dollar shot. That is just Continual punishment all night long. So there you go. If people want to donate and have me do a do a shot That's not alcoholic Five dollars is the is the one All right, one time ago. They should have they should have all do Pepsi blue was good Pepsi Pepsi blue was good Back in the day Your super chat question Any new rumors on a new switch for breath a lot to release behind the scenes Someone must have let you know something even if it is ridiculous So it's funny There's nothing Anybody talking about a new switch coming with breath of the wild to his release is guessing speculating and hoping There is literally Nothing it is so dead silent on new switch hardware right now Even like the little whispers that happen behind the scenes from the fringe Rumor people out there. It's just dead Silent and I know why Even if some of these people might know something After last year, they are too afraid to say anything. So I Have heard nothing and I think all that's happening is the reason we're hearing so many people talk about it is Because they want it to happen. They speculate. It'll happen. Oh a digital foundry, you know said it could happen But they didn't talk about sources. They just speculated so I Will say I have heard nothing So I wouldn't expect it, but you know what things happen when you least expect it The problem is people actually expect it. So it's not really the least expected time at this point, you know um Do we keep this one a drink for punishment during summer fest? Properly during our prime gaming fest probably not I don't think it's I don't think it's a strong enough punishment shot That's why I'm willing to do multiple of them for five dollars tonight It's not a strong enough punishment shot What we literally would be doing like hot sauce shots. So like This is weak compared to what we're going to be doing That's going to be on our wheel of death. We're gonna have some pretty nasty stuff on there, so What are my thoughts on xenoblade 3 ratings info? Nothing why are people shocked? Here's what I don't understand about the xenoblades 3 Xenoblade Chronicles 3 stuff it made all these headlines Because it talked about how there's revealing clothing and you know not fully up cut not fully covered boobs and The word shit and bitches said and it's like, okay, and I'm I don't really and I don't really I Don't really understand What the big deal is cares It's gonna be rated T for teen Who cares I Don't I still know what the problem is like I'm not supposed to be offended by boobs at this point I'm only boobs. I've seen in real life let alone video games I'm supposed to be offended by that or something I'm not supposed to be offended You know that the men are probably gonna be good looking and ripped with their shirts off half the time again, okay? Am I supposed to be offended? That the word shit's gonna be used or someone's gonna say bitch at some point like Like dude, I'm I'm in my mid 30s like this shit's weak sauce, man So like I don't know hey, I know like the person about that wasn't saying that they're complaining about it I just think that that's the only reason people are talking about it because they're like for some reason shock on Nintendo game is going to do what? Okay, have you ever played Xenoblade before? It's not really out of character for the franchise. So what are we even talking about here? Oh Nintendo is a letting them be just a smidge edgier than they've been before okay, and Your point in before the game is fully censored in the US and you don't see any boobies Um Let's see alcohol is overrated avoid. Oh Dr. Peter van no strand that speaks as somebody who has never had a good time on alcohol Here's what I could tell you about about booze in my life one Times like now where I have extreme knee pain takes away the pain. Let's be sleep better to Be embuzzed is Fun for me. It's fun for everybody. Some people don't like the feeling. I Like the feeling and I like it even more because I drink so much damn water that I don't really get hangovers So I just enjoy it now. I don't enjoy the taste Like you're just talking about how you know, it's over. Yeah, of course alcohol tastes disgusting People are drinking it typically for the taste. They're drinking it for Where they're heading now some people do drink for taste, of course, I'm not one of those people I drink Because I like the way I feel when I get buzzed Slows my mind down a little bit Let's see sleep better. Let's be focused better in some cases and It's just it's kind of like the reason that people get high or whatever I suppose right? It's just a it's just a good feeling now if you drink too much Obviously that's a problem it's a problem for everybody but And if you're someone who gets out of control someone who gets violent like there's you know Everyone reacts a little differently. I just happen to be a fun person when I'm when I'm tipsy so I had a Nutella whiskey shot yesterday with my friends after the wedding. It was amazing That just sounds like a waste of good Nutella. I also don't like whiskey, but I mean I done plenty of whiskey Literally this upcoming Saturday. I have a poker game It's right Your buddy your buddy has friends and we play poker cash game And we want me having apparently whiskey tasting there with like 20 different types of whiskey or something I don't know The thing is I'm not really excited about it because I don't really like whiskey, but I'm sure it'll be offered for free Well, I will I win everyone's money at the table, so um You can't handle the stink of alcohol Stink Great story the last couple days keep up the momentum a man I mean the stories are what they are the Ubisoft one today with I was looking to hear two behind on that one Probably why I didn't perform that well But that's all right I'm more curious what people thought about my editing. I was trying out some fancier editing in today's video. Oh I don't did anybody watch today's video and did you even notice that I did some fancier editing or was it like No, didn't didn't even notice you did anything It's okay if you didn't That's the thing. I was wondering like is the extra time it takes to do the fancier editing worth it You know, I if people don't even notice it Yeah, I had a rum ball once did not like how I'm messed with my vision. I don't blame you for that Rumbles rumbles can be a bit rough Um Watcher didn't notice because I watched YouTube in the background. I was supposed to notice. That's the thing When you do good editing You're not really supposed to notice it per se. It's just supposed to slightly enhance what you're already watching Now I didn't do any sound effects with it today, which maybe the maybe photo add some sound effects in it It would have sounded it would have been better. Well, I did some fancier stuff so I Don't know if people are noticing it. It's whatever. I might still keep doing it anyways, but Am I going to do a video on quantum TV? Also, your editing was amazing today. It caught me off guard when the pics started There we go Somebody who actually watched the video did but like did it enhance the video that's the bigger question Like it can look fancy and cool, but did it actually enhance it in Anyway, or did it just be like oh Nate knows how to do some fancy things But like okay, but did it enhance the video? Yeah, that's the thing. I didn't do it for the whole video I didn't do it the whole 13 minutes But I'm just playing around with playing around with some stuff and obviously getting quicker at it So it doesn't take as long and I want to do more things like it in the future I Don't you know what the hell is quantum TV? I don't know So I'm gonna make a video on it can't make a video on something. I don't know quantum TV Converting the quantum TV is threatening me and my family with boxing and violence Who is quantum TV? I don't know what quantum TV is. I literally don't even know what it is So Will I be doing a video on it probably not cuz I've never heard of them So it's like it's like hard for me to do videos on channels that I'm assuming it must be a channel Why are people popping off? It looks like people are saying this isn't pretty serious shit, so it's a you it's definitely a youtuber not a small well He's smaller than me today. We're whoops It's a youtuber who's smaller than me, but he gets pretty decent views He does Okay, so he does some edited videos, but then he also does some live streams And his live stream seemed to be like really I mean it looks like he just talks about tech Man, I see that someone had said that he He lists everything as a fundraiser Hold on here. Hold on. Obviously. I don't know enough about the accusations, but I find this weird This to me is weird. That is not What you should be seeing right now. What the heck? You should be seeing That all right, so This is quantum TV. Why is everything a fundraiser? Is this like a YouTube trick? Because he's got sixty six or sixty five thousand subscribers, but like look at the views he's getting 54k 12 125 36 12 10 23 26 14 What I'm asking What I'm asking is Without knowing the controversy What's up with the fundraiser? I actually want to know like so when you upload a video on YouTube for those who don't know You can select a checkmark That says this video is a fundraiser. Okay Now you don't have to link anything Like let me let me just click on this video Like you'll see there's there's no he turned off the comments The so this is fundraiser, but there's nothing to fundraise, right? There's nowhere to donate, right? It's just a check mark on the back end. Okay So it's a check mark on the back end and what I'm curious and this is just something I'm I'm wondering if you Select fundraiser Does YouTube push your video more? It's on the right. Let me open that up Again mute. I mean he's already muted Donate collected for hope for pause Okay, that's okay. So I don't mind that he's like doing this charity thing But my question is the selecting the fundraiser because I could put a fundraiser on every one of my videos whatever Does that push your video more is that like a thing? Does YouTube push your content more if you select fundraiser? I'm just I that's just a general curiosity. I have like does it Does YouTube push your videos more if you have a fundraiser on them? I guess I could try it I mean, it's not bad to put a fundraiser on your video. I guess I guess I Actually might experiment with that like next video if I put fundraiser on it Does it does does YouTube like if I select a fundraiser and choose some charity that YouTube lets me choose? Will it Push my video more That is something I'm very curious about when people are saying He's a copyright abuser and ban evader who has said terrible things to people review to use a expensive pretty well And so as they happen So something's going on with him or he's abusing He's fake copyright. I mean he's not fake. He's copyright striking channels Yeah, that's a hack that's what's in charge Won't that be weird if I if I if I put a fundraiser in every video it pushes your video more what won't that just be Won't that just be strange? Like if YouTube's bot work that way. Oh, oh, this video has a fundraiser in it. Let's push it to more people That just be weird if YouTube worked, but maybe it does that's the one thing I noticed is every video has a fundraiser on it all those videos This might be in a smaller channel than mine are doing really really well And it's not like his thumbnails and titles or anything crazy So I wonder if that fundraiser thing is a trick to get you to to push your channel more That that would be very interesting to find out so I might actually try that I Might I might actually just hey quantum TV. Thank you so much for potentially giving me a tip to get my videos more views And it's not a bad tip like oh no someone's gonna donate to a charity maybe okay Now Is that an exploitation the fundraiser thing could be an exploitation in the algorithm That's not technically exploiting anything because that the charity is listed right there. You can donate to it but it's quite interesting if That's the trick. I'm gonna do some research on and find out if YouTube Algorithm actually does push channels more That are using the the default YouTube fundraiser That would be very curious if YouTube's algorithm is pushing that more because that that's the case I'll put a fundraiser on every video. I don't care Support a charity and get my videos more views. Why not? Help grow the channel All right So in terms of quantum TV, I also have to do more research. I don't know anything about it If I think it's a big enough deal I might make a video on it now. I know some people said don't he's gonna copyright show come at me, bro Come at me seriously You can't copyright you you can copyright strike someone for any reason You're not gonna win the strike upon appeal You're just not You're not going to It's just not gonna happen You're not gonna win it upon appeal and I have a whole team for my MCN That will take care of it for me and talk directly to YouTube So this is like the the time where I am not even worried if he wants the copyright strike my channel He will be shot down. It will not stick So I'm not worried about it Just to be clear I'm not actually worried about him copyright check my channel unless I just straight re-upload his video Which I'm not I Don't even know if I'd watch any of his videos I mean maybe clips of his supposed apology or something. I have no idea But like I'm not afraid of his strikes. Come at me if you are Afraid of being copyrighted strike for calling somebody out You're wrong now. There is such a thing as defamation That is a thing But then that has to go to court. That's beyond YouTube so YouTube Let's you react to videos. I can play somebody else like I can go like this. I Can click on one of his videos. I can play it and I can live react right now That is not against the law and their use So, yeah, of course I can grab snips of his apology and talk about it snips of accusations and talk about it Of course you can that's what drama alerts all about rather you of course you can It is not against the law and it's not against YouTube policy now He might be striking people to try to protect his reputation But the bottom line is he's just ruining his reputation even more by doing it Um And he's not going to win in the end in the end. Don't be surprised if his channel gets taken down by YouTube But I have to do more research. I have to see what's going on because obviously right now I just see a channel that that does some tech reviews Um a lot about TVs looks like he really specializes in TVs Um and and how the ps5 and other systems run on certain TVs Uh, which which is cool. That's fine. That that's what his content is I don't know that the content of his channel seems to be the controversy It seems to be things he's saying to people behind the scenes threats. He's lobbying and then copyright strikes That's what you guys told me in the chat. I obviously don't know we did have a super chat pop in Hell, how's it going buddy? Thank you gi Rocky three All right, let me uh That is uh, dr. McGillicuddy's dr. Cherry over here. Thank you so much buddy. I appreciate the real shot first real shot of the night um Sorry, they got me already. Um, let me see here He's also a fake tv Uh, you mean a fake tv calibrator What what's a fake tv calibrator? Does he here's the thing does he claim he's certified at tv calibration? He can do he doesn't have to be a certified person to make youtube videos on how to calibrate your TVs You don't have to be certified to do that. What if he claims he's certified and isn't? That's a bit of a problem He claims he's certified and he isn't that's a problem but anybody can Anybody can can can you know make videos on how they calibrate their TVs and what they think are the best settings to calibrate a tv with And and the thing is like for me What's weird for me is on this really expensive tv we bought for the set like there's different ways I calibrate it for gaming versus calibrating it for tv versus calibrating it for when we use it for our live shows So like I have like three different caliber like saved profile calibrations I use on this tv for different things i'm doing with it So there's not even like a one calibration for all use cases right like and obviously i'm unique because I Use the you know tv was primarily bought for the podcast and live streams Uh, so I get kind of a unique use case here where I bought it specifically because I could calibrate it in a certain way, uh, but yeah I I still calibrate it totally differently for tv Uh, sometimes it's totally different depending on if i'm watching live tv or if i'm watching, um, like netflix sometimes I want uh calibrated differently to get the best picture quality because it varies Just like sometimes you want to calibrate it differently for 1080p content versus 4k content because a lot of live tv is still 1080p unfortunately, um So sometimes different settings will help make that pop and be a bit better Uh, then that then it does for say a 4k netflix feed so echo I mean echo There can't be echo There's only one mic that literally can't be echo I feel like you're yanking my chain You're yanking. Yeah, you do yanking my chain. There's no echo Um, literally like I hear the whole whole stream back in my headset That's why I don't people ever wonder why I don't keep the headset on it's because I can hear the entire stream But that's how I also use it to make sure there's no issues Keeping it on it annoys me to hear my voice slightly delayed in my head It just kind of throws me off Makes me talk slower It's echo the dolphin You do the same thing a seven different side. Yeah, like that's That that's just how it is. There's not really a perfect setting for every situation Every situation depending on what you're doing is going to require different tv settings. Now. I'm not a professional. I don't have like Certification for that stuff. This is just me messing around with tv settings my whole life Like this just that's just how it is. There's different settings work for different content. Sometimes you want hdr. Sometimes you don't Sometimes the hdr in certain apps in certain, um, you know Use cases actually isn't that good and makes the picture quality worse to a point that the deeper blacks It aren't worth it. So like there's a whole bunch of, um Different ways to calibrate tvs. So I guess so him not being certified. I guess doesn't really Bother me unless he claims he's certified now. Someone claims they're certified and they're not that's You know, that's dumb like if I if I told you guys I am a certified computer programmer. Oh, well, I'm not I'm a certified, um, you know computer technician. I'm not Have I done a lot of computer technician work? Yes. Have I done a lot of it work? Absolutely Do I have a lot of experience? Yes Have I torn apart and put together a lot of electronics in my life? Yes, I'm not certified any of it So I would never call myself a professional at it. I would just say I'm proficient enough For most of my own use cases and most jobs I worked at but I'm not certified Um Let's see here you went after other certified tv caliber calibers Because he said that they don't know what they're doing even though they are certified on tv calibration I'm not gonna get mad about that I think I think um You know getting into that whole realm as I said, you could be a certified tv calibrator That um has all the proper tools and all the proper training on all the settings for all the different tvs Um and and how to best maximize each tv for different use cases um And yet You could have what you determined to be the right settings The best way to calibrate that tv And someone else can look at your settings and look at the tv and go I don't like that that that doesn't look right to me and they like something else That that's the fun thing about tv calibration is Even when you're a professional at it every person you calibrate that tv for might not like the way it looks and they want it calibrated differently Um, so I'm not gonna get mad at him for being like, oh, they're calibrating their tv Because maybe he prefers his tvs to be a certain way And the way that he prefers it Makes him feel like the way that maybe some of the more official sources do it are wrong So again, that's getting really technical, but I'm not gonna fault him for that um But like if he claims He's certified and he's not that's obviously a problem Um, if he's stealing settings, I I mean that that that is always to me. That's always like a hard thing to prove like like Is it stealing? Like when I when I post videos Am I stealing news? Because I'm talking about the news Like if I was to make a video on how to properly calibrate this tv for say the nintendo switch Like Of course, I would be looking up what other people do with it Well, well, well, I mess around with it look up what other people have done Maybe I end up using some of their settings like is that so consider is extra stealing because I did research But I don't know I don't know enough, but but it's it's still one of those I mean, yeah, you use other people's stuff because you researched it like you're supposed to If you didn't research it. Yeah I don't know It's regurgitating news. Yes. I'm a news dealer But like that's what I'm saying like it's part of research, right? You're gonna you're gonna look at and use other people's stuff that have done the done the work before you because that's just part of research So I don't I don't Cheers Again though a lot of the controversy surrounding them doesn't appear to be about his content. Anyways It appears to be about some other More nefarious things going on I know sitting here like oh, you're defending him. Well one You guys know on this channel that I don't That I don't I don't attack other youtubers, right? So I always look for the benefit of the doubt with how content's made now again. I don't know this guy I've never seen a single video of his Um I've never seen a single video all I see right now is his channel You know, you guys get all I see right now is his channel and an apparent apology, which I assume is about the controversy Um Or maybe it's about something he got wrong in his videos. I don't know and then a whole bunch of videos on tv's and stuff Um a few on a couple other things but mostly about tv's and the thing is um I having never watched his content not knowing any background in history All I can do is go. Hey look if I was making a channel like this Well, I'd probably start by using other people's settings like it's part of the research process. I would probably You know I I wouldn't say I'm certified at anything I suppose That's the one thing if he's saying he's certified again I don't know if he does say he's certified but let me check us about does it say in is about that he's certified Go beyond reference standards Master tv calibrator avi journalists and tech. Okay, that's fine. These these can all be self-given titles Right like to be a tech reviewer. You just review tech Do you mean avi journalists just means you've wrote about this stuff at a website before? And master tv calibrator is a self-given title. There's no No such thing as master tv calibrator. There's a certified tv calibrator Master tv calibrator is not a thing that that's a made-up title In short, I use my professional experience and brutal honestly to help you find the diamond in the rough Once you find I go beyond reference standards from 30 years ago Um offering next level picture quality even searching for the channel membership is for those who want to go beyond the veil That's where it is. It's only five dollars You want someone to be straight with you potentially saving you hundreds? So so his little niche is hey come to me I will help you get I'll help you get the right tv for your use case and save you money. So you don't spend more money than you need to So that's kind of it. That's kind of his his his niche is jada huh interesting interesting Um, the studying ceiling was the initial complaints from reddit a while ago No one really cares now that you don't know. I mean, yeah, I mean the thing It's something that things you may be done since then is uh the worst part Oh, it's about the content. You just haven't watched it yet. So bazaar what what i'm being told here This is what i'm being told is that um, it's maybe it started out as some controversy with his content Which has now gotten worse like not the content part, but what's happened since the accusations came out so you got accused of some things maybe even proven that he did things and Then he just started copyright striking and being a dick That's what it sounds like to me. I don't know the full story again I have to do my own research on this to see you know, it might be worth talking about because youtube channels that act this way um Just like the philip musin situation and others uh end up being stains on youtube that make people Um, not trust us and not want to watch us and swear off the swear off the whole thing and make all of us look bad so It could be something Um that that I talk about but again, I haven't done the research. It's very obvious. I haven't done the research so So from what I gather from the chat Started out with some controversy about his content Which led to him copyright striking after people were calling him out Which also led to him being a dick in some ways just based on a quick google search. I did in private messages um Which the the being a dick and the copyright strikes are significantly worse Um, than what he did with his content. So that seems to be the the main focus of people going after him at the moment Uh, which some people are afraid to because they don't want to be copyright strike because they don't have like an mcn Or a way to protect themselves like some bigger channels have Anyways, I'll I'll have to do some research on it. Uh, you know We'll see what I come up with because I don't like to just watch people's videos on it because people's videos on it will contain opinions um Which is fine. That's my videos my news videos contain opinions. So like when you're talking about another channel It's really hard to just watch other people's videos on that channel because going in That channel will already have a biased opinion before they even hit the record button So everything they say is going to be jaded one way I instead want to take a step back And look at the raw facts of everything and dig down to the source of all of this stuff And then come to my own conclusion You know, I mean That being said You guys know that I call a youtuber sometimes I call that I speed obviously um Game explain back when that when uh, andres, uh, andres restart Andres from from game explain when I felt like he he wasn't running the company well with the former employees You guys know I'm not afraid to the call out channels if uh If I feel like they're doing a disservice to the whole of the youtube community Um, so we'll see I'll I've never heard of this guy. So Yeah, I'll I'll have to do some research. All right. That means so let's get into what we were going to talk about today I'm going to leave the quantum TV thing open down here. So I remember to Look into it later and start taking some notes. Um Let's get into some stuff going out with nintendo. So, uh It says nintendo facing troubled times So this started with a single accusation posted by stephan titillo at axiom where An employee is using the nlrb, which is a union um protection agency uh to Basically sue nintendo and get them investigated or breaching a bunch of union rights Such as blocking the person joining the union Um and and all this stuff and these claiming surveillance and other things that were that were taking place that are really vague And we don't really know the exact details of Um, nintendo did respond to that officially by saying we have no idea what these accusations are about We plan to fully comply with the nlrb. The employee in question was let go For basically leaking information. They leaked information that was confidential So they leaked game information console information, whatever they leaked information. That's nintendo's claim On why they fired this employee had nothing to do with any of the complaints. He was fired Because of that and that led people to obviously go. Hey Okay, like maybe this guy's just a disgruntled former employee trying to get some money Let's give nintendo the benefit of the doubt nintendo says he was fired for leaking information Obviously you would be fired for leaking information. We talked about it all the time That's why people don't reveal sources on things because you reveal your source. You get people fired So, okay, nintendo discovered an employee was leaking stuff got fired You want to believe nintendo believes nintendo you want to believe the nlrb Um investigation believe the nlb nlrb investigation This then was followed up within like a day or two from kataku with an additional 11 employees or at this case former employees of nintendo of america Accusing nintendo of significant malpractice with their contract employees Um, none of it necessarily illegal, but a lot of it just super shitty way to treat human beings And only one person was named But still a lot of the details were kind of vague. So now we have 12 people Then we have this person Who is known to have formerly worked at nintendo This is a known former nintendo employee And this is what they said back on april 19th. They said this in reply to the original Uh complaint against nintendo from the nlrb I'm no longer under nda anymore, which you might wonder why they might have still been under nda just by now working at nintendo It's an exit contract. I am under an nda With my former employer until i'm 40 Through an exit contract. So there are some things I can't talk about until i'm 40 Anyways, this person is no longer under nda. I'm a happily to sing like a damn canary to anyone interested And no, it's not just nintendo of america. It's all nintendo locations, although their evidence for all nintendo locations is Hey, awada was here and saw what was happening and didn't do anything I don't know that that's really evidence of all locations But at least there's evidence that hey even the head of nintendo of japan was aware and didn't do anything to change it All right, awada himself frequently was there and saw this happening We saw complaints from other locations constantly The fact here is this childhood memories of happy times do not negate that the associated companies do horrible things Even if we loved these companies and dreamed of working for them nintendo is no different and never will be It's sad but true when your own contractors and again all the complaints are about contract employees So not like full-time nintendo treehouse employees Like kit and krista they have no complaints We're talking about just contract temporary employees that sometimes end up working full time and can work for nintendo for years To the point that they get lifetime benefits. So Yeah, like, you know, it's just a contract, but some of the contract positions get pretty serious. All right So by the way, then none of this has been a complaint about pay. That's the crazy thing No one's complaining in general that they're not getting paid enough So I guess credit to nintendo for I guess properly paying employees. Um, anyways um So it says uh When your own contractors are so terrified of missing work that they're showing up with life threatening conditions So they don't get blackballed from the game industry. That's an issue when you literally take all of your fte's Which are your full-time employees that are under contracts or contract Contracted full-time employees and divide them into two rooms until one room if you're in here You still have your job Not an exaggeration Uh, so this person must have been in that room right in that room where they were told Hey, you guys still have your job Well, the other is told to pack up and leave because of budget cuts Which this could have happened here the wii u 3ds era Um, when the majority of the employees in that room were about to retire With nintendo of america benefits, that's an issue Basically, they didn't work that they were basically let go Just short of qualifying for lifetime benefits from the lifetime health insurance You know lifetime retirement plans all that like they were just about to qualify for the retirement lifetime Benefits from nintendo, which are really cool that nintendo has those because not every company does And they let you go just short of being able to claim those benefits Again, this isn't against the law It's just a really shitty thing to do Um, that's an issue And the companies of the fact they can easily black wall you from the game community as collateral to keep you from complaining That's an issue. So this is where the original complaint about threats comes from where nintendo might be saying Hey, you don't listen to us. You complain about this. You complain about that You talk out you don't sign this exit contract. We'll make sure you never get a job again in this industry Like that is something that basically means that nintendo is doing kind of america specifically Um, and when their ex contractors are too scared to talk That's a fucking issue the end So this is a known former employee at nintendo. I believe they were a 3d artist Um, doesn't say That doesn't say at the moment, but it used to have nintendo on here and they were a 3d artist. Um So it's it's interesting Uh, I've I've taught for a while that um nintendo is not our friends Anyone who thinks nintendo is our friend Is blinding themselves with company loyalty, which you should never be loyal to a company Um, I use apple iphone products, but I also have used android use mac computers. I also use pcs Um, you know, I've been using the panasonic lumix line of cameras. I'm about to switch to a sony I play a switch when I own an xbox on the playstation 5 on a gaming pc Uh, wouldn't mind owning the steam deck like there's no company loyalty is hard for me to ever justify for the sole reason That a lot of times company loyalty comes along with Defending a company no matter the cost um Which means the company can do no wrong Apple has it like apple's got some very staunch people That will say apple doesn't do anything wrong. Everything apple does is great. They don't make any mistakes They've never treated anyone bad Oh, that's story out there. Oh, that's not true the right to repair stuff. None of that's true apple's perfect Of course, they're not perfect. They're a greedy for profit company So is nintendo. So is sony. So is samsung. So is xbox Microsoft All these for-profit companies are greedy companies At the end of the day the bottom line they're all maximizing revenue And they're going to do it within any means Usually legally that they can so all the allegations besides the potential anti-union stuff Are not illegal what nintendo is doing they're just Some would say inhumane Maybe that's a bit too far some would say it's um Just morally wrong Right, it's more of a moral thing like it's just morally wrong to do what they're doing Not legally wrong, but shows a difference And some people have obviously looked at these allegations from now, you know 12 13 14 employees And they go, hey, I don't hear any sexual assault in there At least they're not activision blizzard Is it not ubisoft And yeah, if you want to rank like the severity Of the things that that that have come out in this industry Sure Sure That's at the top right activision blizzard The worst ubisoft i don't eat that nintendo's somewhere below that But all of it's bad It being a supposed lesser moral evil thing Doesn't make it good You can't diminish it by just saying other companies did worse things Sure And the nazis murdered a bunch of jews. What's your point? Like if we're gonna start right i mean i just talked earlier about a 10 year old Being murdered in my hometown That's significantly worse than any of this stuff besides maybe the the suicide thing that happened at activision blizzard That's obviously a very serious thing, but Like all this stuff being serious. There's always levels that are worse. You can't talk about Oh, well, at least they're not this at least they're not just did they do something bad? Yes Now you can say it's all allegations, but there's a hell of a lot of smoke right now Now again, most of these allegations are not illegal, which means there's nothing's gonna happen Basically, there needs to be enough public backlash for nintendo of america to change their policies it's interesting too because I read an interview earlier today with a former nintendo employee of nintendo of japan who worked at ead of nintendo, um, the solar software development side in japan And he talked about glowingly how he loved his time at nintendo But like when you read the interview and i can't remember where this interview was at It's from a few years ago um You think nintendo doesn't crunch? Oh, they crunch He talks about it in the interview. He just doesn't call it crunch Oh, yeah one time Miyamoto got got back to the studio late when we were all about to leave Um, because he had business meetings all day and he made us all stay till 2 a.m. Because he had an idea Does that sound good? We're all about to leave and check out for the day Miyamoto walks in And says hey, I have an idea and everyone is stuck there till 2 a.m Now look the employee here didn't complain about it in this case. Who's gonna say no to Miyamoto? This is your idol. This is your icon This is your industry god If he walks in and says hey, don't go home. I have an idea And you're there till 2 a.m working all that over time It's that that's that's crunch um Now What I will say and this is why that employee didn't complain Japan is very different culturally um In japan You're not gonna hear in japan. There are not complaints about working overtime There are not complaints that exist about crunch Japan's culture And this is and this is also where you know Man, that's such a shitty thing for Miyamoto to do But also Miyamoto grew up in this culture And the culture is You work until the job is done That's the culture You work until the job is done You have a job you do it till it's done um And that's one reason why japan is very efficient in a lot of ways um That's also probably one reason why japan has other cultural differences like public brothels and everything because people need to stress relief After maybe possibly working 18-hour days no They need to pop on over to the old school nintendo love hotel and relieve a little bit with some princess peach I mean come on they just put in an 18 hour day at the big end They got to relieve them like i'm just saying that you know, it's a very culturally different place So you rarely hear of complaints like the complaints that came from employees at konami Were very rare which tells you what konami was doing was even extreme for japan Konami had complaints about overworking people and underpaying and that means what konami was doing was extreme even compared to what nintendo does Like extreme if people are complaining um, so sure That stuff has been normalized basically in japan. Does it make it okay? I don't know um, there's that whole work life balance and and what's um Japan seems to produce a lot of workaholics and there's a reason for it because that's the culture they breed So this employee was actually praising nintendo and talking about how much he loved his time working there Because later in the interview he doesn't mention how he has more free time now and he likes that so It's kind of like hey, it was worth it for the 10 years and now i'm a veteran You got better job better opportunities and I you know, I don't have to work as much um But again, it that's a cultural thing um In the united states, you know, we call that crunch we call it overtime All of us have experienced the various jobs crunching overtime and overworking and so it is normalized even here in the us It's also normalized that we're supposed to get compensated generously for for working crunching overtime. Unfortunately contract employees Don't typically get compensated for overworking That's the unfortunate thing is contract employees are almost like salaried employees Where you agree to a set amount of money and that's all you get no matter how much you work And the benefit is well, even if you don't work as much you get the same money Yeah, but oftentimes you're working more Um, so anyways, that's another here or there again. It's really hard to really dive deep into the culture at nintendo of japan because Again, there hasn't been any complaints about it. It's just You watch former employee interviews And you hear these stories like me and moto making a mistake on 2 a.m. And you go man That don't sound good But then the employee's not complaining about it. So like how am I supposed to feel? Like that sounds really shitty what me and moto did but also You thought it was cool. So what am I when I don't know how I'm supposed to react to that Because it sounds bad, but then the employee's not mad about it. So It's culture. That's a culture thing um But the fact that owada was aware Of things like like remember when owada was being praised for like, oh man, you know, nintendo's doing bad And even the ceo cut his own salary. So you wouldn't have to fire employees um so He they didn't fire employees According to the accusations they very much did fire employees due to budget cuts So Who's telling the truth? No, owada might not have supervised those cuts But the budget cuts start with japan so I don't know. This is one of those situations where I All all I could say out of the all the accusations is nintendo is in a saint Nintendo is a for-profit greedy business like everybody else And they're gonna do some pretty crappy things behind the scenes Like every other for-profit company Heck even some non-profit companies doing some charities Bottom line is if there's money to be made Something shitty is probably happening somewhere And that's the unfortunate truth all these companies have skeletons in their closets even if you haven't heard about it And nintendo's are coming out It is nice to hear that nintendo skeletons aren't sexual harassment And and some of the worst crap that's happened in this industry But it's still crap. It's still bad. It still shouldn't happen. We still wish that people would just be treated better but We'll see what if anything happens if anything changes if the public pressure increases It is just nice to have the stories come out There's there's been enough former employees at this point that there's enough There's enough smoke to think that some of this stuff has to be true Some of it has to be true nintendo isn't even bothering to deny all these other allegations. So Um, like they denied the original complaint Maybe that original complaint's bogus. I have no idea, but they're not denying all these other ones so Maybe there's enough public pressure that nintendo is going to change their policies Uh, unfortunately, we would probably never find out if they do change their policies because they're never going to tell us so They basically just it sounds like nintendo relies on people being nintendo fans and always wanting to work at nintendo And then they take advantage of those people Until they become untenable or too costly and then they remove them for new people smart business Shitty human practices I get why they do it still shitty human practices so um As someone who's trained or in the most strict to japanese martial arts I definitely understand the culture expectancy that oftentimes comes from those that are Yeah, like that's the thing Um, it's a culture thing So it's hard for me to say a lot about the nintendo japan stuff Seems pretty normal at all companies in japan and then when you do hear complaints It's usually because they took it too far like konami clearly took it too far um So you believe the accuser says doggy. I thought the principle was the presumption of innocence Ah, no doggy. What you're talking about is the law The law is innocent until proving guilty The court of public opinion does not work like the law the court of public opinion is What are your opinions? My opinion Is that there's too much smoke for some of it not to be true. I don't know what But there's too much smoke Too many former contract employees confirmed contract employees speaking up For all of it to be fake And I I say this not because oh give the nintendo the benefit of that out Every other company that has a dozen plus employee complaints about the same things Has been proven to be true History tells you When there's this many complaints there is some truth to it So do I believe everything being accused? No, I even I even mentioned um On this person complaining that I thought it was a company-wide issue right because owada was aware of it and didn't do anything um, it's kind of like That doesn't mean that it's a problem in europe it doesn't mean it's a problem in japan right like You're okay. It seems presumptuous that just because That person knows that owada was aware of it That the whole company, you know is guilty of it like I noted that that that seems more like a an agenda-based statement like a I'm pissed at nintendo And don't just think it's not the whole company because owada knew okay maybe owada did know but That doesn't necessarily mean the whole company behaved that way especially when all of the accusations Are about nintendo america. We don't have accusations about nintendo of europe. We don't have accusations about nintendo of japan We have accusations strictly about nintendo of america And I think it would be interesting and I think this could shed some light on this um Is if one of these podcasts that reggie fesame goes on If someone would just ask him about it No, it's possible. He never knew But I mean if owada's walking around and knew it's I'm sure reggie fesame had to know so It would be interesting if somebody would ask Reggie about it and what he would say Because nothing we're talking about here is illegal. So he's not going to face any legal repercussions If he says something or he admits to knowing Um, he's not he's not gonna none of this stuff's illegal. So he's not he's not going to get in trouble But it is curious if uh, if somebody will ask reggie about it one of these one of these appearances that he goes on I'm just be like, hey like what's up with these employee accusations at nintendo of america That a lot of them seem to stem from when you were running nintendo of america. What's going on? Like did you know about this stuff? Or are these things you were actually trying to fix but it just nothing was working Or were there actually budget cuts? um because a lot of these accusations stem from the owada days and Literally reggie fesame was there longer than owada because i want to died unfortunately um, you know rest in peace buddy So it's one of those situations that it would be cool um It would be cool just to see if reggie would be willing to talk about that stuff He might not be willing to talk about it. He might be he might be under nda himself You know like if anyone's under nda reggie's under Reggie was literally the president of the you you don't think the the the fat Exit contract he signed with a huge severance package and likely lifetime health benefits and stuff You don't think reggie signed an nda when he left nintendo Of course he signed an nda when he left nintendo So it might be something he can't even talk about You know, he literally you could ask him the question and he might go You know, it's just not something i can respond to for legal purposes. Okay. Well, there you go nda Um, so it could be something he can't even talk about anyways, but it would be cool to see someone ask him and get an official response on the record from him um So again, i'm not i'm not presuming That all of the allegations are true. I am presuming that there's too much smoke for some of it not to be true So something Isn't quite right at nintendo of america with their contract employees specifically at their service centers um customer service Game testing, you know, the typical positions that they do contracts with there's obviously something just Not morally right going on not legally but not morally right going on um Which isn't a surprise I'm honestly not surprised Is anyone surprised or like when these allegations are now out there about about nintendo treating their contract employees at their service centers And their qa testing teams in at nintendo america and we hear that they're just Trying to you know threaten them not to say anything or get blackballed You know mass putting people in a room and firing Some and some of them short of their benefits like does any of this um Father people Like does this does this surprise you because by the way, what we're hearing about from nintendo is actually really common All over the united states A lot of businesses do this Contract employees are considered disposable This is how a lot of companies operate so I'm putting out there. This is pretty normal out there unfortunately Um why accept such a contract? You apply for a job You're fresh out of college You see nintendo's hiring You love nintendo You've been watching nintendo youtubers playing nintendo games for a long time huge fan Man, I've always wanted to work at nintendo nintendo's got the sweet job and I can make 60 70 80 k a year doing it sounds awesome Even though I wouldn't read man. Washington. That's actually Not that much money, but um, it's fine. It sounds like a lot especially coming right out of college Cool, let me let me let me go let me go apply for the job They interviewed me They're gonna hire me they're offering me health benefits full time You know, I'm on I'm on a I'm on a Three-month contract that gets extended to a six-month contract gets extended to a year gets extended another year gets extended another year Oh, man What's I remember something they told me about like if I if I put in like 10 years of work at nintendo I get lifetime health insurance benefits and a lifetime 401k package That's awesome Like I can work at my favorite so I'm gonna at least work here for 10 years and get my lifetime insurance And then maybe I move on I don't know but I want to put in my time to get that I'm working at my favorite company I'm getting to qa Test video games like I get to play breath of the wild two Before breath of the wild two is even revealed to the public I get to play Video games before they come out From my favorite video game company in the world damn That sounds great That sounds amazing. You're getting paid decent full benefits And hey look if you work here long enough You can get lifetime benefits And that's why you get hired because it sounds great Then you get there You get hired A few months in you find out Other employees are treating you like shit A year later You know, maybe you're thinking about not renewing your contract or whatever They go Hey, we're gonna put you or are you working there for nine years? You're you're nine and a half years in you are about to hit your you know six months away from hitting your 10 year 10 year Oh, let me just slam all you guys in the room All you guys have been working here a long time. Thank you so much for your services By the way, all of you are fired I mean, I'm sure they did just go all of you are fired, but in You know a lot more verbiage all of you are fired when all of you were Just that short I put in nine and a half years Again, this is just a random number. I picked I have no idea how long it is um Bye-bye Oh all you other people that only be working here three six months. You're still fine now again Not all the jobs are obviously 60 to uh to 80 k ever come like like um Give an example, uh the bottom the lowest job They hire for uh in redmond washington. I think was 16 dollars This was for customer service So answering phone calls when people call in um, so if you do that times 40 hours a week Um times 52 weeks No, that's that's 33 000 dollars a year. So Um, they they have lower paying positions to be clear the 60 to 80 k sounds great But they have lower paying positions um You know specifically at their at their call centers So Anyways, and apparently they're also getting treated like shit. So again, I don't know I don't I don't work at nintendo But it's easy to see how they can get people to work there when everything sounds nice on the surface Plus you get to work at your favorite company And then you get there and then you realize It ain't so great The money maybe isn't worth the stress The constant threats the nda's The long hours so And of course There's always a new batch of college graduates Ready to work at nintendo This this reminds me of the uh cyberpunk There was always a new batch Of fresh employees Ready to work at cd project red Right out of college cheap fresh blood. Let the veterans go hire the cheap guys And you end up with cyberpunk 2077 So it happens and you don't value your skilled employees because you can get other ones to do the job and do it worse for cheap And then you crunch the hell out of these people that don't have experience Hey, we got clean three and zero three seven Oh Thank you so much for the five dollars god i gotta do another one of those stupid fire Flamin hot Mountain dew shots. Oh my god This stuff is gross Anyways Again Some of the allegations. I I think there's enough now and enough people coming out that some of it's true But uh, I don't know how much of it's true Most of it's not against the law most of it's just typical for-profit business stuff Um, which is unfortunate Just Part of capitalism it sucks people get taken advantage of Capitalism it's fun. Isn't it for-profit businesses? Always fun Cheers Tastes so good. Oh my god Going down it tastes so the immediate Oh Oh my god That second one was worse than the first because it's getting warmer. It's definitely worse when it's warmer Yeah, it should like an unfortunate You know, I don't know that anything's gonna change Most of these accusations are so typical. I've seen them. I've seen them at contract jobs. I have worked Where I was treated like shit This is just how it goes It's very unfortunate, but it's just part of the part of the capitalist society we're in um The other thing I want to talk about switch remains number one in the u.s. So basically Uh, Nintendo switch, uh Kirby and the forgotten land was number three Uh for the sales charts on the mpd last month Good for Kirby now just physical. We have no idea how how much higher it could have been with digital sales Uh, so there's that uh still a really really good one of the best, uh debuts Or debuts for uh Kirby So that's really good on the mpd and the switch was the number one selling platform yet again And in the on the mpd reports the number one selling platform for the month of march in the united states pretty cool Switch is continuing continuing to kill it. So it's kind of like hey, nintendo might be facing some so a lot of accusations and you know doing some shady morally gray stuff, but Hey, they're making lots of money, right? So everything's coming up roses for nintendo in the end. I suppose as they say kind of weird, right Bad news positive news, but that positive news Is the corporate greed, right? So like why do we care so much about the switch selling so well? I don't know. We just do it's just fun So it switches. Hey guys, guess what switch is still the number one video game platform in the world. Yay Actually technically phones and tablets are the number one video game platforms in the world Followed by pc followed by switch if we want to be technical, but but for consoles Switch is the number one platform in the world and is still number one. So that's cool There you go Pretty cool. So that's all I got It's all I got for you today. Uh, so now it's q and a time Ask whatever questions you want when check my phone I'm sure julia texts me at some point. Oh, maybe she didn't maybe she's I think she's deep doing I think she's deep doing college work right now. So Oh, that's my installer. We're getting direct tv installed So they were texting me Um 8 a.m to 12 p.m on 4 27. Okay, Wednesday Yeah, I'll be here All right, um Let's see in april and may is losing steam. Maybe Nintendo switch sports comes out this month. So What would Nintendo have done had the switch not sold well Make another system Nintendo had enough money in the bank to have failing systems for like 50 years. They would have just made another system What they would have made who knows Maybe they were a game streaming. I have no idea Um, are you getting that task force baseball itch with mlb the show on switch? Yes I'm just filling my task force quota. Why do you I have not even considered downloading task force baseball. I've been playing mlb the show instead. So Um But I only have a week left to school this semester. I also dropped my summer class due to my summer camp job. Nice Uh, I brought this up before I know and I'm sorry to be a pest. Is there any news on no man's sky for switch No new news. The last news is the only news summertime I think we'll hear news in the summertime and there's gonna be a lot of news in the summertime Wait, none of your guys's questions. By the way for super chats, you can request the nintendo music for me to play in the background as well um So there's that as well. I I always forget to mention that that's something that I'm almost always willing to do just can't be pokemon music because The pokemon company likes copyright striking all that stuff for some reason even though I could I could like put gameplay up And they don't get mad about that That's whatever Uh, do I like the nests mini? I don't own one. So I can't tell you I mean, I think it's fine, especially for a collector's item. It's great as a collector's item I'm sure it's fine. Otherwise. I have no idea. I don't own one. It's like I can't talk about the emulation Um, like I can't really talk about anything. That's you know, it's great. Um You have both minis. I do have the snests mini in my house, but it's not mine. It's erics My kids play it more than I do but again, you guys know my story with classic games I don't really play a lot of games. I've already played and beaten the past so I don't really play it that much My kids play it once in a while And the snests one seems to work fine My kids start still aren't used to what safe states are, but that's all right Uh, oh charles All right, man, we got a bit of a caddy chat today Some people are getting really tired of some of the stuff we're talking about. I'm like, I don't know what You know, it's funny when I read the chat sometimes. Can we please move on? What are people so bothered by? I was wondering like what are people so bothered by With certain conversations like so we were talking about some allegations with nintendo employees or a former nintendo employees Like what does that bother you? What's the problem? You know or like when people get bothered, um, so there was one person who said can we please move on when I was talking about the 10 year old was murdered and it's like I just want to talk about this the whole stream leave me alone I don't know. I find it weird when people like seem to get annoyed at what the conversation is like Did you read the title? The title of the stream like half the stream was supposed to be about that so um Yeah, the auto expansion. Yep. They did add the actual auto expansion I didn't really cover it because I don't think it's a big deal I think if you care about the auto expansion you already have the auto expansion But I mean it's nice that to have it there I guess Um All right important person. What's more important? Hey, you know what I wanted to do tonight though. I did want to take some calls Uh, since we didn't have a stream on Friday to do the buck's playoff game I wanted to do a bonus a bonus call stream today So if anyone wants to call in and talk about something I gotta do is Uh join our discord server message me on discord I do require that you have headphones Tell me what you would like to talk about and I will call you directly on discord Um, and you can join the stream right now and uh ask me your questions Have a little conversation with me whatever the case might be so we are taking calls Um, the topics can be pretty much anything. I will obviously determine You know, if you if you bring me something I'm not gonna talk about if it's political or religious Definitely won't be talking about it I'm surprised no one's brought up like the fact that elan bought twitter That was like one of the biggest like stories in the world today But who knows maybe I spoke too soon and someone's gonna bring it up in a call in Um Maybe I'll do that sometime at all mine would just be a task force. Okay. Hey tax tax sports jokes fine with me Um, if you rebranded into informer prime, maybe prime informer Uh, would you split off into three sub channels like Nintendo prime, PlayStation prime, xbox prime? No, it just be prime informer No, thanks multiple channels. No, thanks too hard too hard to do too hard to do Um Yes, elan bought twitter. It's been approved a cool 44 billion dollars And he plans to take the company private Yep Yep, he was attempting to buy it and then like last week twitter was like, oh, we'll never sell We're gonna put a poison pill in La blah blah and now a week later. They're singing a different tune and have decided to sell so Hey, maybe they just want to cash out and be rich for the rest of their lives, you know Um Why would what's nrj like Nathaniel rumpel jantz 85 what's 85 have to do with anything I go to hoglaw virtual the the galley for the almost twitter craziness. It helps having it exposed by a lawyer What what what what do they have to say about it? I I didn't watch um Virtually the egalities video today. I watched their video sometimes. Let me uh See they I'm sure they got a video. You know, I must win So like what what what were you hoping to get explained from it? You know Like he's buying it. I guess like what happens next is that what you're hoping Like how it all goes down what the legal ramifications are of it. I guess maybe that's what you get from that video Because he does a good job of not really putting his opinion into things. He just explains everything from a legal perspective nrj energy r gt my god No, thanks on the r gt 85. Love the guy, but Nintendo prime unilux my eight-year-old nephew broke his switch Light after losing in fortnight, but he didn't just throw it. He bit it It was like a dog Our dog broke the screen of our tablet because he bit it to be fair He wasn't trying to chew the tablet. He was trying to chew the the Cover we have for it which was magnetic but had like this really soft material on it And he thought that soft material felt good in his mouth So he started chomping on it when we fell asleep and he broke the screen And of course when he broke the screen ran away because he probably shocked himself or something But I gotta get that screen replaced. It's like a hundred bucks, but I just haven't done it yet. Um Kind of just explained it. Yeah, I mean that's what he does. I mean it happened It went through, you know, it's not gonna be instant. It's going to it's going to take a bit You know a lot a lot of legal loopholes and stuff to go through but it went, you know, it's been approved. So It's It's probably gonna go down here. You know, maybe at the end of the year or something again. It's not like it It's not like he today. He owns twitter. Not yet But he will eventually Um It's now let me see poison pill is interesting. Yeah, but then they didn't do it so So What do you do? Oh, yeah, I'm gonna mention For 25 dollars. I shot gun a beer Which will be really interesting since I don't have my keys down here. So I gotta stab it with a pen or something Yeah Poison pill So what twitter said last week is that they would not sell like when the initial offer from ilam us came in Um, the twitter's board came out and said we're not gonna sell And we're going to port a poison pill Where if ilan gets Like like the word where ilan must could not own More than like 14.9 percent of the company Um, and there's a legal reason for why Owning 15 percent gives him a lot of power at twitter But he would only be allowed to own 14.9 and that was like the poison pill like he would be capped So it would prevent him from being able to take over twitter That's what they said last week and it went from that To now. Hey, we agree. You can just buy us. We're good Basically, they had a meeting with ilan this week and he somehow convinced him to sell What was said in that meeting? We'll probably never know But he somehow convinced the board to sell the company to him. So um Yeah, it How the sale is going to go down like how how all the that i that the teas are going to be crossed and the eyes be dotted All of the legal leads that's going to lead to him owning it is going to take some time as I said, it's not like he just Goes grabs the cash drops it at their front door. I own you now Not how it works There's a lot of stuff to go through when you're Buying out a public company which has happened. This isn't the first time it's happened This is the largest public company buyout I think in like 15 years 20 years. It's been a while since we've had one this big But it has happened before um And it probably will go through like there's not really anything that's probably gonna block it it's just a matter of the uh legal ease and All of the paperwork All of the you know individual shareholders involved in it. Um, there's there's just a lot of Um stuff to work through before he finally owns it Should be completed by the end of this year barring any setbacks, but um, yeah, basically They've agreed and now from that point they got to go through all the legal processes To uh transfer the company to them and that that's just going to take a lot a while to do. It's not instant Um, it's kind of like Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard But like it's a pending agreement Until it gets approved and goes through all the legal process And then they own it at some point next year So it's kind of like the same thing here He will eventually own twitter and there really shouldn't be anything blocking it because they can't even argue You can't even argue monopoly status because he doesn't own any other social network So like that like like the only thing that people can cling to to hope that oh man They won't let elan buy it because it creates a monopoly it doesn't It's like not even remotely close to monopoly What's he own a car company a space company and now Social media like that. They're not even related fields. So like it's not a monopoly but Yeah, it probably won't get blocked legally. So it's just going to be um A lot of paperwork and red tape and lawyer crap, but yeah, it'll At this point next year elan must go on twitter What happens from that point moving forward? Nobody knows it'll be a private company just like tesla is just like um, you know space x and What happens is I guess whatever elan wants to happen He's talked heavily about free speech. He's talked heavily about um You know, whatever that means Obviously some people are really really scared that that means he's going to unban a certain former president Be that as it may. I have no idea um I personally don't think it really matters My take is an echo chamber is an echo chamber for a reason um, the people that Support what he says and the weird things that he says Still support him and still support the weird things that he says Doesn't really matter if he's on twitter or not. Those people still exist I don't think kicking him off twitter really slowed down his message He's still literally appearing on cnn fox news and all these places all the damn time I literally see his face everywhere Still to this day He pops up everywhere They don't think it really matters all the people that follow him on twitter Are his echo chamber so I personally don't think it matters I always go if you don't like what somebody says just block. Oh my gosh Oh my gosh, the former president's back on twitter. Okay, block his account You're gonna know then it's like he's not even here. I don't know. I don't know the problem is I don't know why we can't just block people who don't want to listen to I just don't get it I know it's a principal thing I just don't get it. So like there's all this there's all this worry about that and then he he's talked about how Everybody who's a person Should be able to get verified. It shouldn't be based on how many followers you have It should be based on your ability to prove you are who you are and you can have any account Like I have multiple twitter accounts Um And you can have all these accounts like I can have the nintendo prime account the need chance account the um And the operation moonfall account I can have multiple twitter accounts But all of those accounts will be linked back to the same person and people will be able to look at those twitter accounts And tell who the person is that owns that twitter account. What's very interesting about that is it basically Does something that people are deathly afraid of If he actually makes this change It makes you accountable for the things you say You won't be able to hide behind being anonymous anymore. Isn't that interesting? Not being able to hide behind alt accounts An anonymity anymore Very interesting Don't bother me. I don't hide behind it. You know, I don't hide behind that stuff But it's very interesting, isn't it that's that's a change he wants to make We'll see how we'll see how well that goes through if that ever happens Another change he wants to make is he wants to do something about spam bots And he thinks the best way to deal with spam bots, which you all know what it is Just type the word I got hacked on twitter and watch the responses you get all the bot responses Oh, this person helped me on a whatsapp or this. It's all fake. It's all bots. Um He says or he thinks the best way to combat bots um is to uh Make twitter's codebase open source Very interesting, right? He wants to open source the platform So that can allow for user moderation tools to exist You know, just like we have adblock for for like chrome and stuff and and firefox For user tools to be created that can deal with spam. I think that's a very ambitious um I think that's very ambitious Now these are just what he says are his preliminary plans That's very ambitious Generally open source is usually considered a good thing But uh, obviously twitter wasn't built to be open source. So You know We'll see Open source means hackers You realize non open source also means hackers hackers don't give a shit if the open source or not It's not gonna be open source anytime soon because twitter wasn't built to be open source It's gonna take a lot of re-engineering to make it open source because it wasn't built to be open source You you need um when you make something open source, you need to have it built to be open source um But it's funny, you know, it'd be like open source means hackers. Okay. So how many hackers? So like how many millions and millions people use chrome and are worrying about hackers Did you know the api for youtube is open source? like you can be Open source and not worry about hackers open source doesn't mean you mean you're anymore eligible for hackers or anything else That's that's more of a common misconception That being open source makes you more susceptible. It doesn't But Do we have any calls it? No, we don't have any calls in discord. Yeah chromium is basically like I'm almost all the browsers out there It's crazy Not firefox yet though. They're still their own thing. Um, the internet has your identity somewhere I don't use twitter for in real life purposes. Yeah, basically Hey It's interesting that that sounds like he wants to make twitter. Um twitter accounts actually be accountable To me, it's not a problem. I'm accountable for all my tweets, but Um, a lot of people aren't so it'll be very interesting to see What twitter is like If he makes the change that we all have we all have to be verified And we can verify ourselves easily But that means that everything's trackable back to us Which means you can't make alt accounts and be anonymous And shit talk and say stupid ass and i'm bullshit without people being able to track it back to who you are I find that to be a really fascinating change That I support because I hate The bullshit people say when they can be anonymous I always say if we got rid of the anonymity of comment sections and people actually Had to have those comments tied back To them as a person that people can look at and go oh Charles Trudeau, I don't know if that's your real name, but let's say that is your real name and you have an account called nintendo Blathers on youtube and you're commenting, but I can click on that account and see that it's tied to charles trudeau Everything you would then say on youtube Would be accountable to you as a person And it's not cool A lot of people won't because a lot of people want to be anonymous because they want to say shit without any repercussions They don't want employers looking at comments. They said and be like no, we can't hire you because you're a racist. Okay Like You know, it's gonna be pretty interesting Uh, if that change even happens so and if he requires it, of course The thing is if he never requires you to verify that it doesn't really matter But opening verifications to more people. I think it's good. Like everyone wants that blue check mark But now making it so anybody can get it would would be cool Um, he didn't say that he would require it by the way, and that that's kind of the fear people have What if he requires it? Are you saying stupid shit that you shouldn't fucking be saying If you're I always go if you're worried about losing your anonymity on twitter What the fuck are you saying that you're so scared for it to be tied to you as a person What stupid shit are you spewing that you're actually worried? Maybe reevaluate how you talk when you think no one knows who you are Maybe you shouldn't say some of the stupid shit you're saying if you won't say it if people know who you are Then you just shouldn't say it Just keep that keep them back in mind I've kept them back in mind forever when I'm on the internet if it's something I wouldn't say to you in real life I'm just not gonna say it That's how that's how I run things The possible rebranding came up earlier prime and former Um, will you ever be on spawncast? I've been on spawncast before You know those t-shirts they do like every hundred episodes or whatever. I'm on the t-shirt I've been on spawncast before Will I ever be on the spawncast again? It's probably a better question and then I don't know I don't ask to be on podcast So because I don't ask probably not I'm sure I don't I'm uh, I don't think John would be like, oh you can't ever come on Like dude, I've had rgt on my channel, you know player essence was on my channel not too long ago like you know, I used to be good friends with Dreamcast guy. I think you got agitated at something I said once when I disagreed with him, but You can't get past the disagreement that I don't know. It just seems kind of petty but um Yeah, I get along with everyone That like all the default people on spawncast. I don't know problem with any of them. So Whether whether or not John would want to have me on I have no idea. I I haven't bothered to ask to come on in a long time So be one of those if I ask to come on and he says no cool Chances are I just think he won't respond to me At this point, I haven't talked to John in a long time. So I thought I think if I DM'd him and asked Beyond the podcast, he probably wouldn't even say anything, but I could be wrong Maybe he would that's I'm being awful presumptuous and saying he would not respond He still follows me on twitter. We still have direct contact messages with each other so we'll see um I guess I can always ask later when I know I'm gonna have a free saturday night Maybe I'll ask this upcoming saturday. I got plans, but Um, but do I think he'll ever ask me to come back on? Probably not But I don't know that he really asks people to come on, you know Usually people ask him to come on Um, okay, I'm sure he gets a ton of requests to go on the swan cast too from a ton of people But I've been on it twice. So anyways, um See here At this channel help me learn real life shit and have deep time Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't dive into that stuff all the time But I know some people do appreciate that I'm not afraid to talk about real shit sometimes Uh, do you think the vmu and the dreamcast controller was a partial inspiration for the switch? No There's been screens and controllers since then too. No Nope absolutely not The inspiration for switch and somebody wouldn't say we you I don't think we use inspiration either Inspiration for switch is pretty fucking simple. Hey We cannot make enough games to support two platforms, but we can support one So let's focus on handheld since that's our best selling system But find a way to make the handheld also a home console And there's your inspiration I don't think there's really anything before that really inspired it It was literally as simple as nintendo realizing we don't make enough games to support two systems We think if we just make one combined system, we can have enough games How do we do that? Well, let's focus on the thing that sells best handheld Find a way to make it a home console so we can argue it's a home console that you can take on the go switch Literally think it was that simple when owada was conceptualizing it Don't think it had anything to do with the dreamcast or even the we you Not even the we you off tv play I don't think either one of those had really anything to do with it I know it's easy to say especially for we you that it did. I don't really think it did I think switch was already being conceptualized before we you came out I think switch was originally going to be the 3ds successor I think it was already in planning stages when we you came out So I don't think we you really have much to do with it I mean think about this The switch and from what we've heard from interviews the switch had its initial planning phases starting in 2013 We you came out november of 2012 Don't really think we you had much to do with it Just just my just my thought anyways um I'm like said for boobs and I don't really care about boobs The only tits I care about are my fiancé's and they're fantastic I don't need fake cartoon boobs. I'm good. They don't bother me. There's They're fake cartoon vits who gives a shit Besides people that I guess are into fake cartoon tits. I don't know some people are has some fetishes about fake shit, so Enjoy your fetishes if you have them, I guess Um, do you think next to the console we better after the one After the one we won still I don't understand the question I'll be honest. I was shocked the vmu type idea was never done again I mean all the other systems were selling well without it, so they didn't really have a reason Am I gonna have a peppa pig? No The details we're in live streams Same shit. I'd say if I was out in the real world You know You guys awesome OJ said your thumbnails suck and he'll do the free where did he say he'd do them for free? I know he said he said he said I saw the comments on twitter wait He I'll tell I'll say you this. I'll say this jesse beholder I'll say my thumbnails do suck by the way. I have like the worst thumbnails on youtube like Legitimately, no doubt. I have the worst fucking thumbnails on youtube. My thumbnail game is horrendous now OJ going Your thumbnails suck. You'll do them for free. He did call me out on twitter and say my thumbnails suck Never contacted me and said he'll do them for free So if he said he'll do them for free, he must have said that on his live stream Here's the thing Unless he contacts me and says bro, I'll make your thumbnails for free That means nothing So he needs to contact me and say that say no live stream. Don't mean shit to me anyone could say it like like like yeah, you know what player essence I'll make your next 10 videos for you for free I don't mean shit unless I contact him and tell him. Hey, man. I'm willing to make your stuff for free Thumbnails aren't different. I'm just not good at them. I'm just not I'm not good with thumbnails. I've never been good with thumbnails. He wants to make them. That's cool Um, but I doubt he'll ever make a thumbnail for me because here's here's the problem Here's the problem with anyone who makes a thumbnail for me I have a thumbnail guy by the way I just don't use them because it costs 12 dollars for a thumbnail and that's more than my videos usually make So I just I'd be losing money if I used them all the time using for the podcast All my podcast thumbnails usually look pretty good, but um, it's interesting because The way I work is I'll research a topic I'll figure out what a video I want to make I'll record the video and then after I'm done editing I started thinking about the thumbnail which means When the video is rendering I'm ready for that video to go live within 20 minutes Which means I have a 20 minute window In which if someone else is going to make a thumbnail they need to be available and they need to make the thumbnail now Which means I have a very strict schedule To get my thumbnails out and I don't plan my videos ahead of time like he'll plan his video for the next day So he'll be like look whatever video he's publishing tomorrow at like 7 or 8 am or whatever it is He already knows what it is because he's going to record and edit it and get it ready to go tonight So he's got time. He knows what it is. He can plan ahead. I don't do that My videos are very much when the news lands. I make a video Which means I need on-demand thumbnails I'm not really so sure that oj is going to be willing to do on-demand thumbnails He might be willing to make thumbnails on demand when I need it Don't know about that Don't know about that. Love the guy But until he contacts me he says bro, I'll start making new thumbnails for free for a while. Cool But until then Justin Bezos thumbnails are overrated. You are incorrect, sir Holy shit. Are you incorrect? thumbnails And titles Are the two things that determine if your video is getting views Forget the content the content's how you keep people there Like if you have the good content that keeps people engaged That makes people subscribe to the channel. So you need good content to grow the channel But the basis of getting views is the title and the thumbnail They matter more than anything else to get the views to keep the views and keep them. You need a good video Title and thumbnail are Massive when I have a really amazing title With a really great thumbnail That's when I get 10 000 views on a video every time without fail Any of my videos that get 10 000 or more views have a great title mixed with a very appropriate thumbnail Making it very clickable And usually very highly liked lots of high like to dislike ratios like 98 like to dislike ratios my video today as an example My video today isn't very good my video today the one that he it has You know mario going like this and a guy flipping a switch not a very good thumbnail not a very good title There's a way I could title and thumbnail that that would probably get more views. I just don't have that talent That's my number one issue on youtube is I don't have the talent to make clickable enough thumbnails and titles If I was getting look at look at look at my Look at my image for my live stream What about that thumbnail for my live stream makes you want to click on my live stream? What do you learn from that thumbnail? Oh, there's a switch with a mario old school mario amiibo from smash What the fuck does that tell you? Why would that make you click? There is nothing in my thumbnail for my live stream That makes you click It tells you nothing about what i'm talking about. It's a totally unrelated random image search off google The viewership on this right now we've been averaging between 70 to 80 people watching this whole stream We could have 150 plus if I had Just a better thumbnail a better thumbnail alone. We could have doubled the viewership and I know it In fact better thumbnails alone. I could double the viewership across all of my videos I'm just not good at it but amen OJ ever wants to hit me up My dms are open. He knows how to contact me He knows how to contact me He knows where I am He wants to offer he can offer. I ain't gonna reach out. You know, I'm one of those people. I don't reach out for help I'm very stubborn About things. I'm very infocused And how I do things Everything's done by myself because I'm the only one I can rely on Can I rely that OJ is going to be there at a random 9 30 in the morning when I need a thumbnail? Is he going to be available? I don't know but I am and that's where I'm putting the video Randomly 1 p.m. Well, I'm in another video. I need a thumbnail. Is he going to be available? I have no idea But I am available so And yes, you can outsource thumbnails it costs money thumbnails aren't cheap And often costs more than what I make per video because I don't get a ton of views Challenge instead of I'm gonna challenge. I'm not challenging him to do it. If he wants to reach out to me and offer it's fine But just saying it on a live stream don't mean anything you know That's just that's just him interacting with the chat and poking poking some fun at my thumbnails I wasn't there to watch he probably was hoping he probably was hoping I was there in the chat watching but You know, I wasn't I had my kids and other things going on um Yep young tuna, of course we're doing shots I will note five dollar is not booze though for five dollars We do a shot. We've done two of them of this mountain dew flaming hot. It's not very good So if you do the five dollar chat, that's not a shot obviously you do 10 20 20 25 we uh chug slash uh Shot gonna be here and tequila is at 50 because I keep hoping people are gonna buy tequila shots Because I'm trying to deal with my knee pain, but that's all right Doctor won't give me the good pain meds. So If someone offered for free, would you accept help with thumbnails if they're good? Fiverr is usually not free fiverr. You gotta usually pay fiverr is pay for thumbnails And the problem with fiverr and again, this isn't really a problem with fiverr fiverr is great it's turn around time Usually and I've looked at thumbnails on on fiverr's people who I like their thumbnails. Oh that they'd be a good person for my thumbnails Either they require more information than I can give them because They basically expect me to design the thumbnail and then they make it. That's not gonna happen Because I suck at designing thumbnails. It's the whole fucking point. I have no idea. I don't have a good idea That's why they suck um And number two they're always like, oh, I need at least a two hour turnaround time I'm not delaying my video by fucking two hours For a thumbnail. It's just not happening I need the thumbnail within minutes I need to be able to talk to you Five minutes later have a thumbnail You can't do that. I'm just gonna make it myself That's my reality And that's why people don't really do thumbnails for me Because even if they offer for free like player essence offer free I need a five to ten minute turnaround And if you can't do that I'm just gonna make it myself That's why I make my own thumbnails I'm not delaying my videos waiting for a thumbnail It's just not gonna happen. So Oh, by the way podcast tomorrow night again because the buck's playing on wednesday So the ten of prime podcast is gonna be tomorrow night For those wondering what's up with the next podcast tomorrow night um I also think you're able to sometimes have a good thumbnail uh I mean, I said every now and then I get a thumbnail together. That's really good Um, like if we look at uh, that's really good for the video I make. So like we we go to my channel quick Um, let me bring this up. So I see what I'm doing here. All right. So we go to my channel quick and we go Like every now and then I have a decent thumbnail um, let's see here Like this thumbnail I think this thumbnail works nintendo gamecube nintendo switch online now This thumbnail works because it's literally just a free image. Someone already made it. It was sitting there on google And it was appropriate. So this thumbnail works. However, the text the text on it Uh, could be redone to be more readable. Um, the controller could be like I don't know it could be redone to be a bit better But the the concept of that thumbnail is fine. I didn't have to make it because it already existed But like a lot of these image with text on So basic None of those are really good like this thumbnail Not good again. I'm really bad with live stream thumbnails. I think those are probably my worst thumbnails. I do um Let me scroll down here But every now and then I happen to have a good one Let's see I thought this thumbnail was decent Um, not the background the background is a generic image But the concept of putting these two zelda games and then the ps5 coming to switch thing I think that this ended up this thumbnail ended up working But this style of thumbnail isn't right for every video like I've reused this style a few times It's not right for every video for this particular video It was a it was a good idea But it's not a good idea for all videos So I think this thumbnail worked, but then like this one was bad And this one was bad But this one was good Um, like this one's not good. That's bad Uh, let's see here. Um Scroll down Let's see here another one that I thought was good I made and you see how many I'm scrolling by and I think suck. Uh, I think this one worked out Nintendo realized our worst fears Okay, the titles the titles too long Titles too long However, Nintendo realized our worst fears and then mario punching the delete button That's a good thumbnail. Now did it need the oh, oh, I don't know if it needed the oh, oh It might it maybe didn't need the text But the idea of you see mario punching the delete button You're like, what the fuck and then you read the title Nintendo realized our worst fear. What the fuck is nintendo deleting now, right? Like that's something that rushes through your mind mario's punching a delete button nintendo realized our worst fears What the hell is nintendo deleting now? That's a good thumbnail. Oh, I don't know but the rest the concept of that thumbnail is good Um, I don't even remember how I came up with that idea I was probably randomly google searching and I saw an image. I'm like, wait a second Why don't I put a delete button and I think of like mario punching it So I thought that was a good thumb Um, we got stupid generic live stream thumbnail. That's so bad at those Um, let's see here. This wonderling one's a terrible thumbnail Uh, I feel bad because it was a sponsored video and I was just such a shitty thumbnail I should have bought a thumbnail for that one That's probably got paid for it, right? Uh, this is a great thumbnail So this one's got the cross section Where it says nintendo direct and then the word leak. I don't like the font I'm using here because I use that same font on everything I don't like the font. So I think the font used for the word leak is wrong But I like the cross section nintendo direct and then cross section with games in different sizes mario kart 9 zelda You know blade that cross section now. I I if I redid this I'd probably want um, some sort of uh Better outline here on this cross section here. I can't remember why I didn't have an outline here that separated that better But I would probably use a different font if I redid this but I like this This is a good thumbnail and it got 22,000 views Now obviously nintendo direct leaking is always gonna do well, but I usually don't get 20,000 view well Why great title great thumbnail. I like that thumbnail. That's a good thumbnail Um, sometimes I put myself in thumbnails. I used to do that a lot. I don't know if that always worked or not I could start doing it again, but um, I don't know that it always worked out well for me. Um I mean, I thought this was a good the good a good thumbnail, but this was obviously a joke video. Uh, let's see here People got mad at me for this video because that's just what they do So, yeah, I mean every now and then I come up with what I think is a good thumbnail But it's very rare and I never spend a lot of time doing it I never spend a lot of time on my thumbnails, but every now and then I do think I come up with a good one So nameless says isn't the delay worth the extra views from a good thumbnail? Sounds like you are kind of restricting yourself um You could say a delay is worth it But sometimes the news you're reporting the viewerships based on how fast you get the report out Let's let's say a nintendo direct is announced Nintendo announces a nintendo direct right now. So I end the stream and go put a video up The faster I get that video up the more views I'm gonna get So if I have to delay that video by an hour two hours three hours to get a thumbnail By then I'm not gonna get the views So the problem when you are a news channel Is some of the reliability of what you're doing Is that you need to get the news out quickly you need to inform people as quickly as possible before YouTube's swallowed up all the other videos in the algorithm So you gotta be quick now if I was just doing a news recap video like I like I used to do Where I just do one video a day and I recap all the news from the day Sure, you have a bit more time with the video like that But now that I'm not really doing those videos very often. I'm back to doing quicker style Getting the news out right away kind of stuff That leads to hey, I Really do need to just get it out right away. I don't have time to wait Now thankfully getting a nintendo direct Announcement video. It's not too difficult coming up with nintendo direct style thumbnails. I think are probably something That I excel at But that was just obviously just an example Um, do you think rgt is botting subs? He has 423 thousand subscribers only ever just no No, he's not botting subs That's that's how it works. That's the welcome to the youtube algorithm As an example, let me show you a channel that nobody would accuse of botting subs spawn wave 83 40 42 120 86 92 130 107 109 199 54 111 98 125 127 127 91 72 53 spawncast of course 103 So he's getting on his normal videos about between 90 and 110 occasionally has one blow up um But his channel has what 200 thousand more subscribers And he's getting what double the views of rgt like rgt 85 is fine Like as an example, you can look at my channel Like rgt's got 425 thousand. I mean look 27. This is today Uh, 34 58 31 40 58 32 73 41 51. Okay. Now look at my channel, right? My channel has Let's be generous and say I have one fourth of the subscribers. He does I don't well Let's say i'm a hundred thousand subscriber youtube channel. What am I getting? Oh 62 watching live 1.9 4.2 1.8 2.4 5.2 5.5 4.2 1.3 If I had 400 000 plus subscribers I would probably be getting the viewership of rgt 85 So that mean I'm botting subs No YouTube algorithm, maybe I'm not playing the algorithm correctly Neither is rgt 85 And you look at his thumbnails They all look the same Every thumbnail looks the same They're all the same thumbnail The same thumbnail over it's just the same Damn thing over and over and over and over and over again This is not algorithm friendly And I know that these are not good thumbnails you want to know good thumbnails player essence Player essence has great thumbnails So I see player essence has about 10,000 more subscribers than I do So he's not that much bigger than me, right? He's only 10,000 imagine We're all we're in terms of the Relativeness of youtube Player essence and nintendo prime are around the same size. We're within 10,000 subscribers of each other We're around the same size. And what's he getting 6.4 9.1 9.8 4.2 7.7 20 8.7 21 8.9 These are great thumbnails See sometimes he puts his face in it because he's reacting Sometimes he uses that silly cartoon version. He has of himself that someone made I guess he uses that for his live stream the player essence cartoon. These are great thumbnails See there he is with his face in it. So every now and then he puts his face in but he doesn't do it all the time sometimes he does The text is easy to read. It's basic A lot of it just makes you ask a question. Look how many times he uses the word what what what what Wait, what Wait, what he uses like the same words But they're very clear And combining that with this title and the very Simple but obvious imagery he uses the way he blends these images together These are two different images that are using a brush blend So he uses a a brush blend in the middle to blend them. So it looks like one image and looks super clean Highly clickable These are highly clickable thumbnails And there's some variety but sometimes he puts his face in sometimes he doesn't depends on what the news is Depends on what he's talking about and then if he's reacting these are good thumbnails so You know Yeah, like and it's hard too because sometimes like you see like mr. Beast, right? He's basically at 100 million subscribers like you know He still gets a shitload of views in all his videos But that's because he's always he's his videos are very organically grown So he can get a ton of views from people who aren't subscribed And that's why he does so well what the the the hot sauce secret of of youtube is If you're a big youtuber and you're successfully getting a lot of views per video So let's say you're I don't know like beat em ups I haven't looked at beat em ups channel in a while And by the way, I examine channels all the time me and my mcm We're always looking at other channels that are in my field. The beat em ups is one of the biggest in my field And you'll see 200 252 322 405 526 etc etc etc. He's getting what about an average of Let me see you a third Of what his total subscriber base is per video, I would say on average around around a third um Why the hell isn't he able to get a million per video? He's got almost 1.5 million subscribers. Why doesn't he get a million? Reality is when you see a video, let's find a really high viewed recent video of his um This one how to get any nintendo switch game for free 737 000 views 400 000 of those views are going to be people who have never seen a beat em ups video before The reality is on high viewed videos is that most of that viewership are new And that's what you want you want to keep hitting on the new Rgt his videos are only getting between 30 and 50 thousand video because he's just Hitting his fan base. I bet you if you looked at his metrics a majority of his views are going to be from subscribers and notifications Which is fine But he's not hitting on a new audience And that's where you get the big views is when you hit on new So just my tips So yeah, so for me, I'm not hitting a new audience at all right now. Now some of this because I got hacked I was doing really well before we got hacked Um, I was hitting on new audiences all over the place. It was great but um As my movies delayed, do you think there'll be a big first party release in december? Maybe Tendo academy a couple things that I changed on my channel which led to more subs per video Stop inviting people to sub and then went straight into the topic if people love the content they sub Yeah, I did that in some videos didn't make a difference I think it's negligible. I think it just depends different content creator to content creator you know I don't think I don't think Asking people to subscribe and not asking people to subscribe. I don't I don't really think in the end It makes a big difference per content creator um I mean, let's see what happens when you don't have a giveaway going on Because I happened to notice that the moment you announced what your 10,000 subscriber giveaway was going to be that suddenly Just saying see what happens with the giveaways not going on Like I wonder if you weren't doing any giveaways Would you have the subscriber growth you're having? I don't know. I don't know It's hard to know because you can't like go back in time and Delete your giveaways right like You don't know right? Yeah, yeah, spawnway does like the same in every video. It's literally like Every every thumbnail But hey, it fits his personality. That's the thing like it'd be one thing if you're like, man, that's boring Sure, but I mean his personality is very like Very straight shooter right to the point straight to the point. Yeah You know straight shooter doesn't you know no frills Um, that's just the way that's such the way john is at least that's the way he is on his videos, so the thumbnail Just basically changing out a new t-shirt every every thumbnail is uh Works for him, you know, he's found his style. He's found his groove and he found what works for him. So Um Certain design in your thumbnails. Well, yeah, the thumbnails are a big deal thumbnails are huge Um, rg spawnway beat them up all selfie thumbnails. Like I said overrated Hey, what's wrong with the selfie thumbnail, man? Can't tell me I don't look good enough for thumbnails. What do you say? You can't tell me that's not an award-winning smile right there Come on. Come on now. You see this face on a thumbnail and you go fuck. I gotta click that video, right? Damn that guy looks hot. What's going on? Who's that sexy man? You're hypersponsibly. Um What if I pointed an arrow down to my dick in a thumbnail? I wonder if that would get clicks What's going on down there This is making it seem like I'm got a giant dick Um Let me see here. Someone did a test that's showing the percent that's not subscribed in a video helped a lot for smaller channels The percent that's not subscribed. Yeah, the that's in terms of Yeah, some videos some videos when they're doing their call that they call it a call to action When you ask someone to subscribe It's a call to action And what some channels do and a call to action is they go Hey, did you know that you know 70 percent of my viewers and subscribe to the channel? You know, if you're really enjoying this video, why don't you subscribe and hit the bell to get notified of future videos? Um, and then they'll show you know an example, you know of a video that that that has that The problem is for me that since Since we got hacked that's not really true Like if I go to uh, let's say the 4 000 view video. Okay, that's that's one of my better performing ones of late um And I go down there and I go to here. I'll show I'll show you guys this video. I don't really need to hide this It's fine. I've gained one subscriber from it. Ooh positive one subscriber Uh, but you go to what is it? Um, is it reach? I can't remember Which metric it is Um, all right Okay, no, this is what my twitter account sends a majority of my external traffic Then discord then google then facebook Uh, but that's not this isn't telling you where my traffic come from. This is just 1.9 of my traffic came from external sources 69.5 of this 1.9 is twitter Here you go traffic types So here you got browse features Okay traffic from the home page or home screen the subscription feed and other browsing features So here's the problem with this this stat here doesn't separate out subscriptions. Okay This is different youtube search. This is people finding you through youtube search notifications would be obviously people have notifications on um, but sometimes if you go in here you could see Um, see that here's that they do not separate out the browse the browse feature to uh subscribers There's a way to check the subscribers. Hold on. So that's not the stat we want Um Impressions views watch time Bell notification sent data takes two to three days of processes of them Um, yeah, so this doesn't tell me what percent was subscribed is under engagement Audience retention 40 percent is actually pretty good for me. It's usually around 33. So that's a seven percent bump um likes versus dislikes Somewhere in here it'll it'll tell me is that our audience maybe Yeah, so like watch time is an example 70 this is usually the one I see in a lot of videos Did you know that a majority of my of my viewers? Oh, yeah, you're subscribed So if I was if I went into into a call to action I'm like, hey, did you know 27 percent of you aren't subscribed to my channel That that that doesn't sound good. That means a majority of people that are watching my videos are subscribed to my channel So this is this is the one that you usually they usually see in a lot of videos So, uh, there you go. So right now Majority of my people that watch my videos are subscribed. I'm not reaching a new audience. I haven't reached a new audience since I got hacked um I announced to my followers. I would not be announcing anymore giveaways the main milestone ones are in place But where am I seeing growth is on a per video basis? No, no, I I know I hear you You don't tell me and you don't talk. I know you don't talk about dude. I watch your videos not all of them But enough I watch, you know, like three a week I watch enough I know you don't you don't call to action for your giveaways I don't call the action for my giveaways doesn't work either like even if I told people I have giveaways going on they don't subscribe so I'm just saying It's well known And here's how here's how I can say it's well known Even though you don't mention it in every video When you search up nintendo academy I just typed in nintendo academy. I'm subscribed um but It's well second annual giveaway Um, let's see here. Uh, sorry. I was on your channel. I noticed that on your channel. So I clicked on your channel And there was two things I noticed um 10k giveaway event update Like every now and then you do something to remind people of the giveaway And that's okay. By the way, there's nothing wrong with that Um, it's like every now and then I remind people of prime gaming fest. There's nothing wrong with that it's just I would be very curious to see if you were never doing giveaways if you retcon the giveaways Would you have the growth? I know you're seeing success video per video and I again, I'm not trying to knock you I've been at this a long time and I've seen a lot of various strategies I have applied many of them and I've seen various levels of success um It's just something I noted that around the time you started talking about the milestone giveaways you started getting more growth Could just be a coincidence But people do know you do giveaways on your channel I will say this though You make better videos than I do so Why are people subscribing and you make better videos than I do All my my entire audience should be your audience I should have the audience that's your size. I should be getting 300 views of video You should be getting 5000 views of video um The only way your channel is just is you're so laid back and chill. I try I don't really try to just I guess I don't really try to be laid back and chill. I just am How many of internal prime subs from the zi days 18,000? Most of your views are from subs. That's kind of rare. That's bad I as I've just said Most of my views being from subs is bad Because what that means is I'm not reaching a new audience So I'm not growing if you don't reach a majority new audience. You don't grow So it's not good It's not it's not good You don't want it where it's like 72 percent our subscribers like that's not that's not good That's not a good number You want it more like 40 of user subs 60 percent are people who just found your channel. That's how you grow um Plus on the unsubscribe after the giveaway I so retro geek I can tell you from experience I've never experienced mass unsubscribing after a giveaway is over It's never happened for me. So I can't speak to it. Maybe it's because I always have another giveaway coming Um, but I I have never noticed mass unsubscribing after a giveaway So personally I when people say plus people unsubscribe after I I've never had that happen So my experience is when people subscribe they say subscribe. They're too lazy to hit unsubscribe Usually they only hit unsubscribe when they get reminded to unsubscribe Uh, yeah reviews are tough because how much time it takes to do a review It's it's really time consuming Giveaways should not be I agree. That should not be the only reason you subscribe to a channel Uh, usually follow people for the subject if they're too over the top or paint dry boring than I unsub Do I see Jay? You're about to unsubscribe am I dry and boring god God Just destroy this bottle I just heard of dry and boring Having a good time. So much about youtube. I think I understand then I go see the inner working dude. It's The inner working to youtube are are fascinating and they're ever changing because the algorithm is an ai bot Created by youtube that youtube doesn't even fully understand That's a scary thing Susan Wojcicki doesn't even fully understand the you the youtube algorithm Because it's always evolving through artificial intelligence so because of that It's very difficult to keep up with the changes However, it is possible and I do a lot of research on it every week I spend probably at least three hours a week researching youtube algorithm keeping up with the ai updates and everything Unfortunately though that doesn't solve my key problem that i'm bad with thumbnails and i'll never be good at thumbnails because I just It's just I I excel more in the personality Uh the delivering of the content and and even editing I can edit videos decent if I want I I can do a pretty good job editing videos if I really want to Um But the the whole thumbnail thing is just not my forte and I don't make enough Her video to pay someone to do thumbnails. So Um That was new was that our glass thing that just popped up I don't really make that pop up again. What the hell was that youtube? They'd say giveaway. I would do Giveaways aren't happening until prime game effects Um I'm doing a large percentage of your subs watching a video and that being your only source of views. Yeah. Yeah, there's a big difference So he said how is it suspicious that it's your subscribers that are watching your videos Is that not how it's supposed to be? I mean naturally you subscribe. I see the video they click on it. Um Um So put it this way when I have a video that gets 5000 6000 views that that that's a solid Decent performing video for me now. I prefer 10 000 But 5000 6000 that's a solid decent performing video 10 000 is a great performing video Anything under 4000 is a bad performing video So when I get 4000 5000 6000 views, which is which is usually where I I target um Even then It's still 70 plus percent of the people watching are my subscribers Now what does that tell you and I've had this talk with my mcm? This tells you I have a very loyal fan base Okay, and if I release a video On a topic with an appropriate title and thumbnail That has high interest to my actual subscribers They show up. I get the five six thousand views on the video They show up I have a very big well supported community What I lack Is an ability to reach new viewers That's why it's bad When the only source of your views or the primary source of your views is just subscribers It means you're not reaching anyone new. You're only reaching the people that are already subscribed How are you supposed to grow if nobody knew ever finds your video? How am I supposed to get to 100,000 subscribers if I don't reach up, you know 20,000 new people? so That's why typically you want a 40 40 60 split Now I have a very loyal fan base. That's to be damn sure um My channel makes more money than it has any right to make because of the support of the fan base because of the 162 members I have and because of the donations I get I mean, yeah the super chats admittedly have been kind of low the last couple of weeks You know like 20 bucks a video Or 20 bucks a live stream, which is not much But hey That's more than made up for the fact by then randomly Last week of the month suddenly I get like a 200 dollar night or a 300 dollar night. It's insane I I have such amazing community support. It's very obvious I have a pretty loyal fan base like when people subscribe to my channel And they catch my live streams and they interact with me and they they enjoy my videos like I have a very loyal following However How do I add to that following When new people aren't seeing my videos And that is the million dollar conundrum How Do I grow without reaching new people? Well, how do you reach new people? You make appealing thumbnails and titles that appeal to new viewers Okay, but then how do I get the algorithm to pick up that video? Well, the algorithm still thinks my channel is a bot channel So it doesn't spread my videos So what am I reliant upon? Things I'm not asking people to do My mcn wants me to ask every one of my viewers to like every video Like every single video even if you don't watch it Comment on every single video even if you don't watch it share my video Even if you don't watch it on your twitter on your facebook on your tiktok on your instagram Share it everywhere because the only way To get the algorithm to flip around my channel and start sharing it naturally As if the people who are already fans of my channel are sharing the content for me And that brings in new views And as those new views come in youtube goes Oh, wait this content's being shared an awful lot. It's being linked in an awful lot of places Man people must really like this content and then they start to organically share but here's the problem Here's the problem. How do I go into a video? How do I go into a video say? I don't know. Let's let's let's let's go find a quick piece of news I'll just you know just quick go to nintendo life Let's say, um, we're doing the move. We're doing this. We're not making a video on this Because we already talked about it today, but let's say we're doing doing a news a news piece on this So I busted a video. Oh the mario movie's been delayed to 2023, right? That's the title or some some form of title mario movie's been delayed whatever whatever it is It'd be some form of title like that. How do I go to the beginning of the video? Hey, everyone Welcome back to the nintendo prime and uh today we're talking about the mario movie being delayed But you know what we really need to talk about is how you can help us bounce back from getting hacked All you have to do is like the video leave a comment and by the way I would really appreciate if every one of my subscribers would share this video on every single social media platform instagram tiktok Blah blah blah because that's gonna help us bounce back in the algorithm and do really really well And you know what do new viewers want to hear about that bullshit? If you're someone brand new to watching it, do you want to hear a minute long? rambling begging my subscribers To desperately share my content. I'm gonna guess no Maybe I'm guessing wrong But I'm gonna guess that's a big fucking no so We're left with what we got what we have today where you know So how do how do I get my subscriber base to do it? Without putting it in the video to do it a pinned comment where I Hey Please share this video. But then if they see that pinned comment, are they gonna think i'm desperate like so I There's not really like there's not a win-win situation to get people to do it Like I could tell you guys to do it on my life from hey all you people in my life Should please do this to all my videos Most of you still aren't gonna do it Yeah, it's a weird conundrum cosmetry and the thing is it's only till the algorithm picks me back up Once I get picked back up and they start sharing me organically to new then I don't need people sharing me as much but Well, when's that gonna happen? I you know, I don't know my views have stabilized But I don't want to stabilize. I want to grow How do I grow down? I don't know There's no there's nothing. I mean it it all goes back to when you got hacked in october And it's been an uphill fight since then Who knows maybe the key is having player essence make more thumbnails But I don't I don't honestly think he's actually gonna do it. So He wants to do it. Fine. He knows making thumbnails doesn't take very long It's it's not a difficult process It's just some people have a talent for it. Some don't Who's talking about live streams Nate wants and deserves a large base. Well prime gaming fests will probably perform. All right Um, I'm anticipating prime gaming fest to be smaller than last year Uh, you guys know we have like 700 800 900 people live the whole time I think it's gonna be more like 400 500 live Um, because we're not going there's no guarantee nintendo is going to be there. So we don't have the guarantee of nintendo Uh, main kind of we could see sparks of hope of course from ubisoft Uh, but but there's no guarantee that there's going to be a bunch of nintendo news However, we are going to be having live streams going so long, right? Like there's going to be a paid thumbnail that's going to rock Uh, there's like last year And the streams are going to be set up, you know a month ahead of time and Uh, we're going to be probably the first people on the internet live with news about You know summer game fest and recapping things and having special guests on and doing entertaining things And obviously having the giveaways. So I project well like 400 500 live I don't think we're going to be quite as big as last year even though we're bigger than last year Because of the there's no nintendo Uh, it could be wrong and i'm happy if i am wrong if we are bigger if we're double the size of last year That would that would be crazy to me, but um, yeah I don't know We'll see what happens. Um, people go to twitch for live streams on youtube. They get less views I think it's a bit of a misnomer to say that live streams get less views on youtube as an example Uh, when ninja was streaming on youtube In between mixer and twitch He was getting more views on youtube than he does on twitch today That's just one example. There's many others. Obviously. We all know, you know rest in peace eddico was a massive streamer And he did it on youtube um You can stream on youtube and get huge views. I don't think that that's I don't think that that's actually true Um, if I one could argue as a streamer, it's harder to get found On twitch because everybody's streaming on youtube not everybody's streaming. I see smaller channels grow As streamers I've seen them grow It's happened Not just established streamers Like obviously ludwig and and stuff like that are always going to adopt her disrespect But you know because they started on twitch And got big there I think it's harder to get get discovered on twitch than it's ever been because there's more people trying to stream than there's ever been I think you'd be surprised You just got to hit the right audience at the right time Like the reason that our e3 extravaganza went so well last year is we had e3 streams set up before e3 did So we were hitting those search results Right away So like when we're doing prime gaming fest, like I have to make sure that I am advertising it as a summer game fest event So we're hitting all of the summer game fest search results before summer game fest does And so that way when people look up summer game fest 2022, we're listed right along with them and we're live before they're live So when people are looking for it, we end up being the top result because we're live That's what's cool about youtube search is that when you search for something and there is actually like When you search for e3 2022 We were popping up as the top search result For much of e3 before the e3 stream started because we were up before ign We were streaming before everybody. We were live before every other live show Like people like why do you do 12 17 hour days when there's only like three hours of stuff going on? Because we're live before everybody else and we don't just sit there and Twiddle our thumbs with our thumbs up our ass that whole time If you guys remember e3 extravaganza everything up All the pre-show stuff we'd have a pre-show for like three four hours But before the main event even started We had something planned you guys remember we had a schedule Okay, we're gonna kick off with a giveaway. We're gonna talk about this topic here This is going to be a members only time to chat This is going to be when we have a special guest on the talk. This is when we're going to do a contest This is when eric and i are going to face off against each other and do the one chip challenge This is when you guys are going to get a chance to do a mario kart 8 deluxe tournament This is when this this is when that blah blah blah blah blah remember how we were very structured Okay, so because of that Our e3 extravaganza if you showed up you're like, what the hell is this thing? And all of a sudden you show up to the e3 extravaganza and you're like What the hell is this? Why is this up before e3? What's going on? Is there new announcements here? And you see who the hell are these guys What the fuck why are they doing the one chip? Okay, they're they're fighting each other. Wait, someone's doing the one chip challenge. What the fuck? Why why are they why are they slapping each other? Why are they wearing suits? Who's this person they wait a second they brought a special guest. What wait why Dude this conversation about yesterday is really engaging The speculation about what might come today man That's what I want from pre-shows. I want speculation and conversation about what's to come I don't want advertisements thrown in my face So what ended up what ended up happening is we had so much structure around the pre-show And the post-show but the pre-show especially That people came and it felt like a real show And that's what's crazy Is it felt like a real show Produced by people much bigger than me planned events entertaining segments giveaways And everything else it was insane So people would come like what the hell is this and then they would decide to stay Like oh e3 is about to begin A better switch then they'd see us hit a button and all of a sudden there's the e3 show and here's us And then we're providing entertainment during the segments when e3 is dragon We're doing giveaways. We're popping up a contest in the middle of e3 happening when e3 is sucking ass like That was the key We retained viewership because we were up before everybody else Starting our show before everybody else and being entertaining before everybody else And it's a very difficult thing to do like we predetermined who was going to be Facing us in smash Before we got to the day so we already knew who was going to be Fighting us in smash from the fan base before we started the stream So we wouldn't have to like wait around me all right Let's pick someone from the audience to fight us in smash like no We already knew who was going to do it. They were already fronted with me on switch And it was really easy to get into the matches, right? Really easy to get your opportunity to win a 20 dollar e-shop gift card so That's what I'm talking about where it's really crazy to think about How I structured that show and this year It's going to be even crazier you know what we're planning out things like a A wheel of fortune A video game wheel of fortune And obviously the participants from the fan base which will be fans and they'll be competing for a prize Um And there'll be a bonus prize even just like there isn't real wheel of fortune So there'll be the one prize you win by being the winner of the four then you get your bonus round to get the additional prize um Obviously the people participated in that will be pre-drawn ahead of time So we'll have it already organized. They'll know what time I need to show up If they don't show up we'll have backup people who can fill in But like that's just an example like we did do anything crazy like that last time this year We're going to be using multiple sets This year there's going to be even more Nate versus Eric stuff and then instead of it being like oh, it's Nate versus Eric for the one ship challenge We don't know what the loser is going to do because there's going to be a wheel and we're going to spin a damn wheel And what it lands on the loser has to do so like Plus the scheduled giveaways We just we just got some more giveaway stuff, which I can't talk about yet But we just locked in some stuff with to get some more physical items to give away Because obviously we'd like to get some physical items. We've got some more physical items coming I'm really excited for what's happening um And I just I just can't wait and like It's a lot of work, but I have no idea how big the show is going to be I just presume it's going to be smaller than it was last year because Nintendo might not be involved But I could be wrong It could be reaching whole new audiences Could be reaching whole new audiences. I have no idea But I I'm projecting 400 500 live so about half of what we were doing last year And if it's more than that kick ass um Kind of participate in that Nate, uh, it'll be it'll just be something people can sign up for I'll announce it later And it's random draw It's random draw. It's not going to be anything more than that Cosmic drew Yeah, yeah you Thank you cosmic drew for the five dollars Thank you, buddy says barely any youtubers discuss this side of their channel with their subscribers This kind of openness has kept me around. I truly appreciate it. Yeah, no problem. I'm really open about my channel Example there's still giveaway prizes. I haven't sent yet I know some people are probably oh Yeah, it's a little bucket of them back there. They'll all be sent before the event But that's a reason another reason why we haven't been doing giveaways. I got the cruise coming up I got that event I got to take care of and I got those giveaways to send out so I All my finances are committed to the show to the cruise and to getting those giveaways stuff taken care of including some digital I don't even take care of so yeah, we're We're rocking over here but Cheers Dude the more of it you do the worse it gets I thought the third one I've done This that mountain dew fire shit is disgusting We don't have any dates yet. My god. I can't wait till we have dates Sorry, Julia was asking about an air tag. I'm pretty sure that's just the air tag We put it in our car because it's registered to my phone not hers So it was like telling her an air tags on you. I'm like, yeah, it's the one in the car Bone in or boneless for wings I like the taste of bone in better But I get boneless because I don't eat all the meat off the bone in ones So I feel really bad like I'm wasting so I just get boneless Your dates Pull under right now mountain dew flaming hot will crash and burn Oh, I mean, this isn't gonna be around forever But um, I think good Do with a blast of heat and citrus. Okay, so the citrus there you go. There's where you're uh There's there's where your live wires coming from but It's worse the more of it I do and it's warm. So Definitely not great warm I'm just checking the score I know the Celtics one that's all It's the score of the other game Was there another playoff game the rafters beat the 76ers hot damn They beat them at the 76ers. Holy shit. Are they gonna push this seven games because then beads hurt Dwelling bead only scored 20 points That thumb has to be killing him dude Has to just be killing them And how about the choke hardest jaymark james harden? Dude that dude just chokes every playoff. So he's choking again Oh my god, are the rafters gonna come back and beat and knock off the 76ers. That would be insane And it's only because you're willing beats hurt Um, and nothing you guys care about any of that. I'm a big mba fan. So Do I uh, do you think you're holding updates because it's still in talks with Nintendo? I I don't think Nintendo it would make them hold off dates, but I have no idea. I don't know what Jeff's doing Just a big boy. Have I seen massive talent yet? Isn't that that movie? Um Uh about nicolas cage Like nicolas cage plays nicolas cage I have not seen it yet. No, but I do want to see that movie doesn't good Hey, what I miss what do you think the update will be tomorrow? What update tomorrow? I don't know you're talking about what update tomorrow. Is there something going on tomorrow? I don't know about What update is what what what are people talking about? What update? I'm confused Is there something I don't know about The reason I got to switch OLED and planned and always turning it completely off and leaving it in my dock literally 24 7 For damage the battery. Um switch has a smart uh smart controller with the battery Uh, so it shouldn't damage it too much I wouldn't expect full life out of it like later like if you leave it on your on your dock for like four years It's still it's not probably going to be like a still a three hour battery life four years later But it still should be two two plus um Shouldn't that damage it that bad that they have they have smart battery control NSO why is there an nso update tomorrow? Who said the nso is being updated tomorrow? We just got an update the nso last week So Who thinks there's going to be one tomorrow? Who said there's going to be one tomorrow? We literally just got an nso update last week Don't know why people think we're getting one tomorrow Schedule maintenance People do know that there's not an update every time there's maintenance, right? They also know that like nintendo switch sports comes out this week, right? Not every time there's maintenance is there an update guys You know, there's a popular game about to release it has online play I don't know could could could the maintenance be related to the release of a major Online multiplayer game coming later this week. I don't know maybe Like So I don't think there's going to be There's going to be a new Anything tomorrow I could be wrong by the way. I don't work at nintendo. It's not like I actually know what they're doing Hey, we crossed a hundred likes sweet Need to go sleep.
